I've already had my accounts closed with Wise, Revolut, N26, Bunq, Solarisbank, etc. I have one traditional bank account open in in the EU but they've been causing me problems lately by blocking transactions. What other EEA accounts are available? It seems more and more we are being forced out of the EEA. I can open bank accounts elsewhere but then lose access to SEPA, which is very valuable to me.

Speak with someone who can assess your situation and provide relevant substance to keep the bank accounts open.

Is there any reason why you have had so many accounts closed?

Lithuania seems to be the country to look at for lenience with who they let it, but not in KYC. I use Bankera and have had no issues in six months. I also use Payoneer, which is lax, but you need a bank account and it is more restrictive in transactions, i.e. you can't receive to it from yourself or any entity connected with yourself.

They work fine until I start receiving any reasonable sized deposits. Then I get hit with questionaries regarding where the funds originate from. As soon as they discover anything to do with crypto or offshore companies it's always the same response of 'we can't have a relationship with you anymore.'

I submitted my KYC information to Bankera so I'll try them out. I have a Payoneer account but I never found their account to be very useful.

Bankera are crypto and offshore friendly.
 
I'm still in the process of KYC with Bankera. They are very slow. Now they want my documents to be translated and certified.

I looked at Aximetria. They offer a custodial crypto account. They don't offer a bank or EMI account. Finductive and Simplex are only for businesses, they don't allow you to open personal accounts.
 
I sent a transfer to my Simplex account. Got rejected and returned back to the originating bank. No reason given.

I passed Bankera's first level of KYC. Now I'm waiting for them to approve level two.
 
The Simplex account seems pretty useless so far.

I'm impressed with Bankera. Transactions are received and sent quickly. KYC takes a long time but once everything is set up it seems to work smoothly.
 
what is it your business is about?
I already stated this is for personal use, not business use.
I just wonder, Revolut, Wise and now Bankera blocking your account, you must doing something wrong?
Of course I'm doing something wrong. Isn't that the whole point of this forum? We're all banking offshore. Offshore banking is wrong.
Already have an account with them. They only allow business accounts. I can't use them as a personal bank account.
