Get fake residency in one of the "stans" like everybody else and open a bank account with payment processing there. Or Collect & Pay for example. Their fees are obscene compared to other EMIs, but they cater to PMCs and other "UN" employees.
No, you haven't overlooked anything. That pretty much sums it up. Unfortunately it seems next to impossible to find a bank and/or a facilitator to open said account.
Not a bad idea. But I was trying to avoid an "extra" office in Serbia/Turkey/Armenia/WhateverStan. The problem is that we sell physical goods not "ones and zeros" which means you would have to route the cargo through any of the above countries with killing your margin as a result. Thought about...
Was actually looking for a bank account. The business and funds are absolutely transparent and legit, but unfortunately they come from the perhaps most toxic place on the planet besides North Korea.
I agree with you that their prices are pretty steep, but I haven't been able to find anyone in the mid-price. It's either crazy expensive or crazy cheap which obviously is a scam
