Hello,
does someone know some company where can I online create bank account? I need it to transfer money to this online bank account and then to my personal bank account. Skrill wants 7% fee because I have Skrill in EUR and official currency in my country is not EUR. I created bank account in EUR in my country, but skrill still charges the fees because this is not official currency.
So I would like to create online bank account in EUR with some online company providing this
Please help if someone has some experiences.
Thank you

If you're resident of country where official currency is other than Euro, they'll always convert your withdrawal to your local currency. That's what they told me, when wanted to do withdrawal to EUR currency account in Poland.

arber_PL maybe I understand you wrong first time. You think even if I will have bank account provided by revolut in EUR. They will still charge me the conversion fee because in my country is official another currency than EUR?

Some of the options you might want to check are: N26, Revolut, and Transferwise.

Re: Online bank account creation
Ok, I checked Revolut and Transwerwise (N26 not allowed in my country).
IBAN of my Revolut accounts starts with GBxxxx so it means that the accounts is in Great Britan. So if I choose withdraw at Skrill, click on "add new bank account" then I have to fill from what country the account is (here I would choose United Kingdom/GB nevermind), IBAN and SWIF code.
So I think Skrill would charge fee because official currency in UK/GB is GBP. Am i right?
On the other hand I registered with transferwise, where firstly I was asked to choose currency, when I choose EUR automatically was generated my IBAN which starts with DExxxx.
So I think the account will look like its from Germany. So there would not be a fee.
Can someone confirm my theory?
Anyway thank you for useful tips guys. Really appreciate it!

Re: Online bank account creation
So it looks like Transferwise won! For the people with same problem like me, I can recommend Transferwise.
Thanks to the forum.

Re: Online bank account creation
I wouldnt recommend Revolut nor Transferwise for such transactions.
Transferwise have very clear in their terms and condition that they dont accept money from gambling sources https://transferwise.com/acceptable-use-policy-eea 1.2.1 . I asked them recently specifically for transactions between my transferwise account and bet365 betfair , and they told me a very clear NO .
About revolut, because I was transfering money from betfair to my account ( in fact I was doing only withdraws from betfair to revolut ) , in a period of 1 month they asked me source of wealth 3 times , and they blocked me twice for review.. At the end they announched me that we close your account. As they told me : is highly not recommended to use revolut services for a purpose of gambling or betting. Doing so affects our reputation as a brand... just lol , and this happened after the second time that they asked me of a SOW and the first lock , so they let me continue using my revolut account but because I kept getting money from BETFAIR , they closed it permanently
