In addition to IOS and Android app they offer a Telegram based account opening system. I tried it and all went smooth, nice idea and a first for me.

I don’t know yet, waiting for KYC approval then I will test it

FYI, their audited accounts filed at the companies house show a tiny turnover and huge losses of 4mln pounds for 2023.

They must have a smart accountant

On the other hand, they are publishing their financials directly on their webpages. It counts. Very rare, if not unique among EMIs (some banks do it).

Account approved, I got a Eur GB IBAN with SEOUGB21. For USD you don’t get a personal account but you must send to Altery’s omnibus.
Crypto is accepted, but:

“Please note that after your first crypto transaction, SWIFT and Faster Paymentsservices will no longer be available. All other services will continue to work as usual.”

I see that their company was incorporated in 2009, and I found this about their founder (no issue for nationality). If possible, please tell me about your experience.

I know the owner behind it. He's legit and this is a reliable EMI.

Interesting. Can you tell more about the owner?

Not from Pakistan, well-known entrepreneur who wants to be under the radar

Opened an account, everything went smoothly, thanks for sharing

Why are you after an account with this EMI, just for additional supply of the list of EMI's or is there any particular reason ?

You never know what the future holds. And it seems a bit different than the usual ones.

Why not? I like Pakistan.

Have you opened an account there? It sounds quite interesting even the monthly fees for non-EU are a bit expensive.

I opened one after seeing the post from @JohnnyDoe and the verification came through in a similar timescale. Always good to have a few options in the back pocket. I've experienced ContoMobile, Bankera, iCard, Flow etc and all have a finite time of operation. I am also becoming more tiresome of the tedious Revolut hoops I have to jump through to just get a transfer executed when they decide the transaction is 'suspicious'. Tempted to leave them before (as someone else said) my loyalty is rewarded with a closure!
