Hello. Didn't find Austrian sub forum.
I have a question about Austrian banks and I hope someone of you can help me. I would like to know if the Austrian banks are allowed to open business accounts to companies which are getting deposits from bitcoin exchanges (bitstamp, kraken...) where we have business accounts. How is the status with that issue there? Because my startup needed to close the business account after Bank of Slovenia declared that banks in Slovenia shouldn't corporate with companies which are getting deposits from exchanges.
So now I'm forced to open an account somewhere else and of course first option is Austria. Wanted to open an account at Fidor, but is complicated.

Any info or links (also in german) would be really helpfull.

Thank you.

Fidor is a german direct bank only open to people living there.

If you are anyways based in Slovenia, why not use Unicredit - Bitstamp's bank?

https://www.coinlend.org <-- automated lending at various exchanges.
https://www.bitfinex.com <-- Trade BTC for other currencies and vice versa.

Unicredit also doesn't want... Bitstamp is safe because they are exchange - mediator... Something like that they told me at Unicredit.

Unicredit Slovenia does not want you to receive money from one of their other customers?! Huh

Anyways, I'd recommend making a trip to Graz or maybe Radkersburg/Fürstenfeld/Deutschlandsberg if you prefer a smaller town and having a personal talk with the bank(s) there if it has to be an Austrian bank, I doubt there will be much information about business accounts + receiving money from Bitstamp on the internet anyways.

It's not that we're reciving money from bitstamp, but that we actually are startup whose main activity is traiding with crypto... Simply Slovenia... idiots on main positions  at Bank of Slovenia who gave out that warning.

Yeah I'm planning to do that, but wanted to check here first  Smiley
