What does EMI mean? Is it a bank account? Still a payment processor?

 

[Sols]

EMI = Electronic Money (E-Money) Institution. It can be a lot of different things under the PSD2 (EU Payment Services Directive 2) but in this context, it usually means a financial institution which offers bank-like products such as payment accounts with IBAN and prepaid cards.

EMIs can also be payment processors, money remittance companies, and a providers of whole range of different services.

Is it a service like Payoneer? Is it a service for online payment?

 

[wghrhfgfs]

Can I deposit like a bank? Can I apply for a physical debit/credit card?

 

[TurnedToRobot]

Some EMI will also offer payment processing to accept payments online i.e. visa and mastercard while others only do the same as a bank does just without credit and mortgage.

I have some problems now, I don’t know how to tell everyone.

 

[wghrhfgfs]

I want to find an anonymous offshore bank account, as long as my name does not appear.

 

[wghrhfgfs]

Is EMI anonymous? Can I apply anonymously? How do I deposit my money into an EMI account?

That doesn't exist anymore. Without breaking the law, the closest you can get would be to use a nominee bank account signatory. They will still disclose your name to the bank but your name wouldn't appear on the account itself usually.

How do I deposit my money into an EMI account?

You can deposit money into EMI via bank transfer. Some, such as Revolut and TransferWise, support topping up by debit/credit card.

Is it the same as applying for a bank account? Need a passport?

Yes. EMIs operate under the same customer identity verification laws as banks.
