BIL Luxembourg has a pretty straightforward online application. Has anyone tried to remotely open a bank account there?
Apologies for being Naive perhaps. But can you point me towards Ivan?90 % it s Ivan...
FIB bank is following this ditective, they open you an account but with no debit card no internet banking this kind of thing 30 years ago should have been OK but in our days is basic useless...This basic account thing has been mentioned elsewhere in this forum before, but it came to my mind again:
It should be possible to open personal account as an EU citizen everywhere in EU (but limiting to one bank per country) without proof of residence (but some good reason why it is necessary):

I would be interested in hearing experiences regarding this. For example, what kind of good reasons you have come up with?
The directive requires debit card and internet banking .... so a bit hard to see how they follow itFIB bank is following this ditective, they open you an account but with no debit card no internet banking this kind of thing 30 years ago should have been OK but in our days is basic useless...

I agree, you will never be able to get rid of the banks because you have to pay such bill's using your local bank account there are only a few of such bill's where I live and where you can pay it with a credit card.You need a local bank account for the automatic payment of your {mobile phone subscribtion, pobox, whatever local service}.
BIL private banking starts from €500,000. How is your experience with them? Is the online banking any good?I did the mobile app application a while back and was rejected and told to come to their office in person. They only accept a few EU countries via online application I believe but I maybe wrong.
