Or am I being too British here (i.e. assuming countries other than us will actually enforce the rules)?0 -

I don't believe that is true. The application form most definitely takes other addresses, too.Evolution, not revolution0

When I tried to sign up with DKB a couple of years ago, my UK address and everything else was entered and accepted, but on finally submitting the application the message appeared "Sorry, we only accept applications from residents of Germany, Austria and Switzerland". It would be useful to know if this is no longer the case.
That said, there are potential alternatives such as the Transferwise Borderless account. One of the advantages of that account is that you don't need to be fluent in German to open and operate the account. It doesn't have a debit card though.0 -
Hi,
Has anyone tried to use the Ferratum Bank current accounts? I can't post a link to it here apparently.
This looks too good to be true, considering I've been struggling to open a current account in Dublin (where I am purchasing a buy-to-let), and am getting fobbed off with various lame excuses. Any advice welcomed!0 -
Best suggestion is Revolut.

As you can pay Euros into the account from an employer who pays in euros.
The revolut EU account is based in Lithuiana. Under Barclays.
No credit checks either.
And you can receive a debit card with contactless and have direct debits etc!0 -

I am a UK resident with a property in Spain. I am looking for an alternative to my current overseas bank (Banco Santander). I need a euro account which will allow me to set up direct debits (eg for gas, electricity) for my Spanish property. Is this practical or must I stick with a Spanish bank?0
