Re: [LIST] Free EU bank accounts that you can be opened directly online
Notice the 👍 they added in the message? 
Sorry but it's funny, locking account and message the customer with 👍
I think generally speaking most of the neobank are not so friendly when you have transactions related with anything from cryptos.
By the way, did you tried N26?

Yes, they are very funny
They have all this positive vibe, "Look at us, we're not a regular bank! We don't wear suits and we embrace crypto, bla bla bla..."
Fuck you! You're exactly like any other bank you phony fucks!
By the way, did you tried N26?
Yes, they blocked me when I tried to transfer from Kraken.
And I wasn't the only one.
My experience with this list as a localbitcoins trader.
I sell and buy btc with SEPA transfers. Because I receive from many people and send to many other people banks don't like this pattern and as you know it's impossible to reason with them. They act like fucking robots.
- N26: Used only once for localbitcoins. Blocked when transfering from kraken
- Revolut: Used them for some time. Was able to receive about 20k. Blocked
- Mistertango: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1709715.msg28844528#msg28844528 Blocked
- Leupay: Already received 17k and stopped. Only large transfers so less sender. Still working
- Paysera: Low activity so far. Still working

Apparently N26 is shutting me down because I requested a transfer from kraken.
My conclusion is that you can't use any of these banks to do any kind of trade.
In fact I can't understand what you can use these accounts for since some of them blocked me for sending like 10 outgoing transfers. But I suspect I'm burned and all banks are now sharing information.
I have come to the conclusion that the only way way to go is to open offshore bank accounts to continue my activity.
Thanks for the update. I was about to go and try to open up accounts with whoever would let me but it seems like they're not that reliable. And besides, the EU has tax agreements with nearly every country so they'd be reporting your transfers right back home anyway, so it kind of defeats the purpose (other than free SEPA transfers, but then you'd have to pay to get it out of the EU anyway if you don't live around there)
Can you share some info on offshore accounts? What is involved in opening one of those? Thanks
