The Best European Bank Account

What do i need to open honduran bank account if im american?

You can open a Lempira passbook account with no more than your passport and a minimum of L.1500-a bit over seventy five dollars. If you want a dollar or checking account and are not a resident you will need your passport and three letters of reference from Honduran friends or businesses. HSBC, Banco Atlantida, Banco de Occidente, SA, and BAC/Bamer (Credomatic) are a few of the most popular ones and none of them will intentionally rip you off. In fact most of them have a little sign in the teller window saying, "please count your money". If you want a debit or credit card you apply for it when you open the account and it will be ready for you at the same bank in a few days. There is not a d.... thing wrong with giving your home address, and at least the previous diatribe was right about one thing. Don't ask to get your new card by mail. Not because somebody is going to come to your house and rob you, but because the Honduran mail service is so unreliable that the new card may take a long time, or never to find it's way to you. (you still need to activate it in person or by phone, just like in the US, so you don't have to worry about robbery) Yes, if you are stupid enough to go the the automatic teller after dark you are a candidate for a mugging or robbery, just like most places in the world. I am a US citizen with a Honduran residency, living in Honduras, and still have the Lempira account that I opened years ago. It is actually handier than a dollar account.

Can a non European citizen open a bank account in any of the EU member states?

Yes, a non-European citizen can definitely open a bank account in a Member State.If you are legally resident in an EU country, you are entitled to open a "basic payment account". Banks cannot refuse your application for a basic payment account just because you don't live in the country where the bank is established. A "basic payment account" is an account that covers standard transactions that you use in daily life.If you are not a resident, you can open a bank account remotely. However, this is not a possibility in every Member State. Some Member States in which you can open a bank account without being physically present are: Latvia, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Luxemburg, Malta. It is important to note that opening a bank account remotely includes a lot of documentation and sometimes a short one-day trip makes the process much easier.Bulgaria:-To open a bank account in Bulgaria, whether the person is a resident or a non-resident, one simply needs identity documents, a passport preferably and a proof of address;-Opening a bank account from a non-resident: one needs to provide a Power of attorney, which is notarized in the Bulgarian Embassy abroad or before a foreign notary;-Some banks may require a minimum deposit for the opening of the bank account. The deposit can be made in Leva (BGN) or in Euros (EUR);-One can choose between a Leva (BGN) and a Euro (EUR) bank account;-Most banks provide Internet banking facilities.If you have more questions and would like to know a little bit more about the procedure, please feel free to drop me an e-mail at yoana@companate.com . I work for a corporate consultancy called COMPANATE (https://companate.com ) which would be a perfect partner to help you regarding this matter.

Is it easy for EU citizens to open a bank account in another EU country? Online? Are there any regulatory or taxation issues?

Some years ago the EU imposed SEPA, the Single Europe Payment Area. SEPA enables you to easily transfer money between every EU bank account without additional fees. When you are in a SEPA member state (all EURO states also are SEPA states), you should be able to open a bank account in just any member state. However: Opening a bank account requires a secure identification of the client in order to prevent money laundry. If you want to open a bank account in Germany, you are either required to show your ID card or your passport live at the bank, or you are required to use a remote identification sytem such as PostIdent.

But it does not stop you to hold euros in the same Revolut account (with Revolut you can exchange US dollars into euros at interbank rate). You can spend any currency with your Revolut card by a simple rule: if you have enough of the transaction currency in your account that currency balance will be affected, otherwise an in-flight conversion at interbank rate (with a potential 1% markup) will take place.It takes only 30 seconds to open an account, you just need to download the Revolut app from App Store. The app is used to manage your account and the card.In summary, Revolut takes a completely different approach by offering the best multi currency experience that has no geographical borders.To learn more visit www.revolut.com.

Find my regions bank account number?

Unfortunately you cannot view your account number online. You NEED to go to a local bank and get your number.

Also swiss is blowing it out of proportion a bit, though she is correct it could happen. The best defense from that is a good password, things like LettersNumbersLetters work. Example: pie360superpie.
There are many other ways to beef up a password, just search for guides on that.
I also suggest not writing them down anywhere, so make them easy for you to remember.

In Swiss' defense... a hacker, if persistent enough, can get into ANY account but that takes A-LOT of time and A-LOT of effort.
