Faking UK residency for UK LTD non resident

[ilDavid6311]

Nowadays, opening bank accounts as well as getting accepter from payment processors for UK non-resident companies, is becoming more and more difficult. Let's suppose, I fake the UK residency with a fake UK utility-bill or bank statement, will I be able to open more bank accounts / apply to more payment processors? Or they will ask local ID, NIN number, or what?

Why fake it. Just open a bank account and change the address to a UK and and submit that one.

The point is change address to open more EMIs/Payment Processors.

How about you don't suppose and don't go down the path of fraud.

Doing questions is not a crime yet

When it comes to payment processors, it’s usually not a problem to get them to accept any utility bill you provide for your UK LTD, even if it’s owned by a non resident.

It’s mostly the banks that can be difficult, in my experience, a reference letter from my bank often helps in those cases.

See my post below

This is how you may end up if the bank decides to put you in CIFAS database due to fake/fraudulent documents being detected.

And no I genuinely don't know other wise I would have included that, they asked for different kinds of documents, which I provided for, and then suddenly closed the account. I wish I knew more but this is all I have. And I do have an European passport. And I'm not in anything illegal or crypto etc.

Do all members have EU passports?

Not most of course, but several, I think it's 4 so far now but I also got accepted by 2 so I should have worded it differently for sure

Was a UK EMI the first to ban you? I ask as there is chance if the ban was related to fraud i.e suspect...
