[LIST] Free EU bank accounts that you can be opened directly online

[alani123]

Ferratum is suspending multi-currency IBAN accounts. Now only EUR will be supported. This is so sad IMO, it was the best service to receive payments from other currencies and in many occasions had the best exchange rates. Maybe it was not profitable again, I hope they'll open it again.

I'm looking for a card similar to Revolut, Monese, Wirex (it doesn't have to be a crypto related card, but if it is, better...) that has an IE (Ireland) based IBAN, and that can be opened and used as a non-resident, but as an EU citizen
If someone is using one, or just know a good service, please let me know

Tnx

Hello.

You could check https://transferwise.com
You can have a free debit Mastercard and create a virtual Irish IBAN account if you need it.
Be aware they have very strict rules and if you transact with crypto or gambling related sites or businesses
your account could be banned.

Check their Help section to see if this works for you before you sign up with them.

Are you sure TransferWise issuing Irish IBAN? Have you get it?

Are you sure TransferWise issuing Irish IBAN? Have you get it?

I don't think so. The simple reason is where Transferwise bank accounts are located. For the EURO currency, they use 3 banks

- Belgium
- Estonia
- Germany

You can see it with their IBANs that you use for the deposits

IBAN : DEXX XXXX XXXX XXXX BIC : DEXXXX
IBAN : EEXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
De for Germany, EE for Estonia, Belgium are dedicated to each client.

They do have bank accounts in the UK but it concerns only the GBP currency.

https://www.dukascopy.bank/swiss/ a swiss bank that is crypto friendly and accepts customers worldwide on their app

my experience with them so far: i installed thier app, they have chat in it lol, and you can win some prizes like 5€ per day and 100 € per week, there is video identification and you need passport/ID for that. there is some intrusive questions about your job but you don't need proof of address. now i am waiting for my account to be confirmed.
On their website they say the plastic and virtual VISA cards will be available the 1st of December, dunno what to think of that.
they want to create a network of people that can send/receive money easily, ambitious or not serious? dunno for now.
for the incoming limits their site says it depends of your job/country of residence, i will keep you posted
some other limits:
The maximum credit balance on the cards should not exceed CHF/EUR/USD 10'000 at any time.
limit on account balance: The size of the limit by default is set to USD 50'000 can be raised to 100.000 USD, for that you need to make a request and prove source of income.

Seems a good bank for small/mid size portfolios that want to trade/cash out crypto to fiat and don't have crypto friendly bank in their country, they offer swiss IBANs too so another good point for them.
It is a well established bank since 1998 in 2 continents so this looks good but i don't know much about their history.
i don't like that their cards aren't available yet, will they really be available the 1st december?
And that innovative way of banking with chat and stuff could be a success or a total failure so we can say that it is kinda risky to put your money in that bank.

how many virtual cards can you create ?

Ferratum debit card put my account on negative balance! It is the first time ever I have a European bank do this to me... I have only heard it as a predatory tactic in America to charge interest but here, with a free card that isn't even eligible to charge me interest? Why would they allow the account to go overbalance? Just tell me that the payment can't go on for fuck's same. It also ddlayied to go on the requests even for two days and even though I had blocked my card in the meantime, ferratum still drew whatever was left in my account.

All this just gives me a very bad taste in terms of how they handle the security of their cards. After they canceled multi-currency accounts, getting my account to negative balance is just another reason to abandon this bank.

They have a very detailed video KYC, I’ve done one before, for the Monese card, but this one was really detailed and long

Hi, It could be a solution, but because you are a London company, your cards are only in GBP, or do you also offer cards with other fiat currencies?

It says on the website that they support USD/EUR only but IMO, If you're thinking of using their services though, I suggest you give it a second thought because except for a few articles[1][2][3] that were all published on the same date, they have no online presence which is very strange for a service that existed for over a year.

If the debit card is all you're interested in, there are much better and more reliable services out there.

Thank you for this review.
I'm looking only for Crypto Debit Card.
Spreadsheet is very helpful! It should be more widespread, it would definitely help many people.
I use Revolut, but it is not known when they will start the crypto-fiat exchange ..
I think I look at Coinbase the most seriously, but before I decide, I will read a little more.
Thanks again!

Revolut seems to be experiencing massive problems lately. Just check out the newest comments under this post: https://www.facebook.com/revolutapp/videos/765073330655400/
Does anyone know what happened?

[jerry0]

What current banks can you do this if you are form the US?

[act now]

Bunq suspended my account after several withdrawals from Kraken  Stay away...
Does anyone know some KYC free debit card service?

Either Bitnovo or Bitsa card, I don't remember which one, has a card with 3 levels and the first level doesn't really require an ID verification (KYC). The user only needs to provide a mobile phone number, to receive an activation code I suppose.
The drawback is a low limit to reload, a maximum of €250.

Other than that, you can always exchange your bitcoins to buy a virtual debit card (visa or mastercard) via coinsbee.com and other alternatives.

Hello, I'm looking for a reliable EUR bank account for deposit and withdrawal from Kraken, can you recommend some?

N26 and Fidor, other than that I wouldn't try any other. There are Wirex and Bitwala, it's not banks but you still get a dedicated IBAN to send and receive SEPA transfer.
If you read the topic you may find other suggestions and recommendations since your question has been asked several times in this topic

Using Revolut from fall 2018. From October 2019 I have a Metal plan (Premium user). I used my Metal card for several payments in the the store and small cash withdrawals (less than 300 eur), and my Revolut account for several transfers within EU (under 200 eur). I also used Revolut trading platform.
One day I've received a notification in Revolut app saying that my account is temporally limited for some security review and I need to provide some additional information to Revolut. Access to account was blocked. The only option I had was to contact Revolut support team via their in-app chat. After four hours of waiting one of the team member contacted me asking to verify my identity. Then they asked me questions about source of funds and the nature of the recent transfer. I've provided all the necessary information including pdf-documents required. The communication process was very slow and lasted for the whole day long. I was told that Revolut needs to check my account and when this check is completed they will contact me.
No terms, no specification of the reason for this blocking, no access to funds and to trading platform! They have just blocked my account with the balance of about 10 000 USD. It happened at the beginning of February.
I wrote them again several times via their support chat several times but received no answer. The chat does not connect me to any live agent. No reaction, no response, complete ignoring.
I have found them on Twitter. After sending a message asking about my issue I received a templated reply saying practically nothing new: account is currently under review and they can’t give me any further information. After that they just blocked me on Twitter as well so I can’t write them anymore.
After two months of waiting I have sent them an official email complaint and in 3 days received the same standard reply with no specific information about time frame and reasons.
It seems like they just don’t care about their clients, no matter if you are premium or standard user. No phone numbers to call. No respect.
After 10 weeks of silence I have sent another official email complaint to UK Financial Ombudsman Service and is now waiting for their reply.
Keep this information in mind and be careful with Revolut. They can do whatever they want whenever they want with your money, and you might have many problems getting it back. If you are a Revolut client try to find an alternative before they block you with no prior notification.
