in 2022 I opened an account with ING online, took less than 15 minutes. They had video verification and needed a local mobile phone number, that's it. After I relocated to another country outside of the EU they simply just changed the details and the account is still fine.

Actually, to me, ING is the easiest!
ING, in my experience, is the leading banking meretrix of all the banking meretrices in Europe smi(&%

Well, really nice to read. The ~2 stories that I have heard spoke about bureaucratic onboarding nightmare but it is true that it concerned business accounts, not personal ones; and honestly, I do not know much about these businesses (definitely nothing shady but I possess no details). I have only one personal experience with ING; it was, regrettably, similar ”“ yet it concerned not onboarding but a payment transaction, also B2B.

I might try Polish ING sometimes in the future 🙂

I'm curious as to what treasures you found in the Czech antique shops. 😛

🙂 It is not a story of mine but of one of my former business partners: he is interested in glass; and Czech glassworks in 19th-20th century (today, probably, too) really made a lot of nice masterpieces. I have seen some photos and it was really interesting.

Well, if you have opened accounts with all of them (please confirm 🙂 ), you are really good.

The subject of this conversation is of great interest to me as i develop my business. If I understand correctly, if i'm Spanish i can travel to Poland and simply open a physical account by presenting an identity document with a credible story ?

So what about companies ? Can i go to a country like the Czech Republic as a Spanish resident and open a bank account and a company registered with the Commercial Registry (VAT) ?
