Hello, I'd like to know if it's possible to open a bank account in a different country <i>without</i> visiting that country? I'd like to somehow get an IBAN to receive money but not use the banking system of my country.
You can use Wise for this purpose, strictly speaking it's not a bank account, but you can have a unique IBAN and transfer funds to your local account or keep it there.<p>As a disclosure, I work there.
A bit intricate, but you should be able to open a bank account in Estonia. They offer digital citizenship, so-called e-residency (<a href="https://www.e-resident.gov.ee/" rel="nofollow">https://www.e-resident.gov.ee/</a>) and for 350€ you can open a company there. I reckon it should also be possible to open a bank account there over the internet once you got your citizenship e-card?
