I just booked my flight to Serbia to try to open a bank account there. I will be there from 1 July and will stay there as long as necessary. I don't know if I will be successful in opening an account but I will go around different banks just with my passport and hopefully a registration card...

Hello, I am still trying to understand the risks of using a safety deposit box in Germany or UK. I asked a German company offering deposit boxes outside the banking sector about their confendiality and they replied: "To open a safe box we will need your passport in advance to write the...

In Serbia. Just a passport and a registration needed (you can get it from your hotel). No exchange of information with anyone. https://www.libertymundo.com/index.php/2021/09/14/banking-in-serbia/ https://welcometoserbia.org/en/serbian-banks-crs-free-zone/ I am Dutch and going there this...

You mean in Switzerland cash or account in online bank such as Dukascopy? I am trying to understand if safety deposit boxes in the UK or Germany are as safe as Swiss when it comes to privacy.

Well, I have never heard about stablecoins. Will try to understand what is it and how it works.
