EMIs and US Citizens

[MackDaddyT]

I've noticed that many EMIs say they do not provide service to the USA. Which of the following is represents what they really mean:

a) We don't provide service to US citizens. If a US citizen owns a non-US company, we can help you
b) We don't provide service to US citizens, regardless of the jurisdiction of your company

It's B but you may check with AdvCash in order to find something that can work for you.

Did they tell you that they don't accept US citizens?

No good will ever come to non-US EMI's that offers US persons financial services.

Sorry, we do not provide our services to US citizens and residents of the USA whether located on US territories or abroad.

We do not offer any of our services to US citizens and permanent residents.

We reserve the right to monitor and block registration from the USA and/or from US citizens and residents located on US territories or abroad.

We reserve the right to block any account without prior warning should we have a suspicion that a person or a business is trying
to provide misleading informationwith the purpose of concealing their US location or affiliation.

This is what I get when I visit their website.

Thank you, Martin. That really helps me solve my problem

European EMIs generaly do not accept US citizens.
There are some in Hong Kong that do. Try i-account for example:
i-Account - Most accessible international account. Simple, convenient and easiest online account

Would a solution be to use VPS / VPN to connect to the EMI's of your choice ?

That gets me to the website. But verification is the problem

Do you get a unique account number to which people can wire directly (SWIFT/IBAN)? If so, what's the SWIFT/BIC address (not your account number, just the bank code)?

Some of these EMIs provide only a general account number (under their own name), and transfers to customers are based on the "instructions/comments" field of the wire.

I think it’s the latter. I haven’t transferred anything to it yet, but their instructions mention using a “reference number”.

That clearly means you don't have your own IBAN, but a shared one, just like Skrill.

Bummer. Thanks.

Does Neat offer a “real” account, IBAN/SWIFT?

For business accounts yes.
