This was GREAT reading! I laughed out loudI know it's an old thread but I've just ran into this Bunq rant on Reddit so just wanted to drop it here:
That article is SO disturbing! Un-f*cking-believable!Added bonus, Bunq employees are free to violate your privacy. They did not face any repercussions. Article is in Dutch, but exposes the laxity of this 'bank'.

Now you can open a bank / EMI account in the EU for the foreseeable future, without living in the EU.
Hi, thxThis works in most EU countries, but Id pick one where the tax authorities arent so aggressive, and you dont risk becoming a tax resident easily. So Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Ireland and maybe Slovenia, Czechia, Slovakia, Croatia, Cyprus, Malta.
And while not an EU country, the UK works great for this as one gets access to many good EMIs with a UK address and the UK has very clear rules for tax residency and generally uses utility bills to prove one's address and not like a personal number linked to a central register. International european EMIs typically require utility bills even in countries where personal numbers/codes are used though, so it is not a huge hurdle.
A while back I actually rented a cheap room in Northern Ireland for a while just to have a UK address - worked flawlessly.
