European Bank Account for Non-Residents

Nearly anyone can open a bank account in Europe as a non-resident. 

It doesn’t matter if you’re a retiree, career expat, digital nomad, crypto investor, have high-risk income, or if you’re a politically exposed person (PEP), there is a European bank that will work with you.

So, whether you want to open a personal account in Portugal, an offshore account in the Isle of Man, a private bank account in Liechtenstein, or a digital account in Lithuania, anything is possible.

This is great, because there are a number of benefits to banking in Europe as a non-resident. Here’s a snapshot of some of the top reasons non-residents open accounts here.

Unlock These Benefits When You Open a Bank Account in Europe as a Non-Resident:

• Low-cost transactions to and from SEPA member countries
• Reduced foreign currency and international transfer fees
• Local debit cards for fee-free withdrawals while in Europe
• Access to more stable banks & banking systems (depending on home country)
• Deposits in more stable currencies (depending on home country)
• Deposit protection up to €100,000 from the ECB

There are many more benefits you can unlock with a European bank account, depending on the type of account (e.g. private bank account), that you open and the bank you choose.
