Is this dead for good?
It was very useful in the past.
This thread was last updated more than 5 years ago, so, it's completely dead. Many services that's listed in OP isn't available anymore. Some still works, but I wouldn't rely on this list.
It would be useful to get new version of such list.
Yeah, that’s the problem with old lists—they get outdated way too fast. Some of the services mentioned might still be around, but relying on them is a gamble.
Opening a bank account in the EU used to be a real hassle, especially if you weren’t a resident. But things have changed a lot in recent years. Now, many banks and fintech companies allow you to open an account entirely online, without ever setting foot in a branch. That’s a game-changer for freelancers, remote workers, and expats who need easy access to European banking.
