Are Ukrainian nominees good nowadays for a UK company and EMI account?

[5K1PP3R]

Can someone share experience - how are Ukrainians looked at by the EMIs nowadays? I guess opening a UK company should be no issue at all, but what about EMIs like Wise, Revolut and similar? What about Ukrainians who received refugee status or other status with a long term visa and European ID?

Ukrainians are soooo welcome today! You might even get a discount. It doesn’t matter if I can create a Ukrainian passport myself in my garage using some kindergarten tools and crayons, such a joke of a passport it is.

but all EMIs nowadays are using face recognitions for KYC so they would match you with your previous identity. At least this is the theory

This is fantasy. Even AI in airports isn’t able to properly recognize faces. EMIs just verify that your face corresponds to the one on the passport.

Yeah and it's not failsafe.

Since conflict they are loved especially by Lithuania and eastern European EMI's. And yes they do actually get discounts.,.....no joke.

Look at SatchelPay below. They offer a free tariff for Ukrainians on top of their home page.

True....they are getting lot of discounts and even KYC is lighter for them.... It may be funny to try to onboard an offshore company with a Ukrainian girl as nominee and compliance officers like "she is just a Ukrainian businesswoman so everything it's okay"

it could be a possibility to take advantage on that, pay them some good money and both sides get something from it.

While there is no shortage of Ukrainian hookers, I would be very careful with using one as a nominee. Before Ukrainians became heroes of freedom, the stereotype of the typical Ukrainian was not a flattering one…

I know what are you talking about tho, also since I actually speak russian and get along with russian speaker people (not only from Russia) ukrainian girls doesn't have such a good reputation among them and heard a lot of funny stories about it....

The idea of getting an Ukrainian girl as a nominee would be just paying one for signing documents that actually don't know what it is..... And not telling them neither.... Pick the one thats actually almost illiterate as a nominee so no need to worry about it
