Online Bank Account for non EU resident

[cryptobird]

Just had my 13 years Portuguese bank account closed, no explanation.
Need to open another‌ one, I am a Brazilians citizen, need a "vector" here.
Has anyone heard of bordr?‍
Much appreciate any useful info.

Whats wrong with Wise?

 

[JohnnyDoe]

Everything.
I think he‌ wants an account with some decent chances that it will not be closed for no‍ reason.

Hi there, I did‌ set up my WISE Account all ready, BUT, they won't allow payment to Kraken.
That is where my problem lies now, loading my Kraken account with cash, when I need‍ it.

 

[cryptobird]

Exactly.

 

[JohnnyDoe]

You should provide a bit more context: what you‌ do, where you are, how you make money etc

 

[Martin Everson]

Ok I see. You⁠ should have explained its crypto issue from beginning.

You can try directly with Simplex Banking⁤ feature then if its crypto related.

They do, and also Coinbase.⁠ On the receiving side.
It's unclear if you can send money to an exchange, but⁤ card transactions work for sure.

They accept crypto transactions from any company/exchange that has an⁣ EU/UK license.
Something to note is that even tho Binance now has a few, they⁢ wont be supported.

OP wants to send money to Kraken. How does Wise help here? Are you saying Wise⁠ does allow sending money to crypto platforms in that case? As the link you sent⁤ say the below.

"You can't send money to a cryptocurrency platform."

I am in the hurry now, will reply later today.
Cheers, and thanks for the‌ replies.

He can use the card to move the money to Kraken.

Fees turbo suck⁣ tho,

Alternatively he could buy stablecoins at Binance,⁢ where card transactions are usually fee free, then transfer to Kraken.

Talking about CEX here.. Kraken is USA based, so are under the USA's thumb. Binance‌ or KuCoin are far better Cex outside the western sphere.

You can currently open a‍ KuCoin account without KYC and deposit funds there.

Never let crypto touch any bank account that you don't want shut down. Any crypto-related‌ wire can get your bank account shut down nowadays.

Maybe use EMIs that support crypto‍ like SpectroCoin, WireX, AdvCash (not a recommendation)

Hi there when entering the Kraken Bank info, Bank is in Germany,⁤ I get this "We cannot currently accept payments to this recipient".
But they take money⁣ from Kraken, I made one small transfer for testing.

I am in Brazil, I have a Job, and also do invest in︀ crypto, I did use that bank account to transfer money to Kraken, since 2017.
They sent me a letter saying that I did not fulfill the obligations of my Prestige︁ account, which is crap, every thing was deducted directly from the account, had money in,︂ and was always using the account.
The account was active.

There it is:

Types of payments︇ we can't accept​

We never accept cash, checks, or any cryptocurrency (crypto).
#You can't send︈ money to a cryptocurrency platform.#########
You can receive money to your Wise account from a︉ platform that deals with cryptocurrencies , as long as the platform is regulated and/or supervised︊ in the EU or UK.

"We cannot currently accept payments to this recipient".

I'd go with Bankera then if the workaround doesnt work for you
