Moving away: close your bank account, you must live in the country to have a bank account here.
Moving to: you must open a bank account here, we don’t accept foreign IBANs
Using a banking application: you must have US tech spyware on your phone, otherwise we don’t consider it secure.
We need a European federation. I want to be able to move somewhere with my European bank account, get paid by European employer, pay with my European money using a European payment system without having to tell some other non-European country all about it.
Could you please elaborate what the exact problem is? I never heard about such problem, but I am not sure whether I understand what the issue is here.
I am not sure what the problem is, but if you are a legal 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.
it’s also illegal to reject an IBAN from another EU state.
you can also try a virtual bank: n26, bunq, revolut, and even wise.
