An account with a payment institution (EMI) in Europe
We open accounts with European payment institutions when ordinary banks say no: for non-residents, foreign companies, trusts and businesses in high-risk sectors.
We find the payment institution that fits what your business does, prepare the documents and guide you through onboarding until the account is open. We speak Ukrainian, English and Russian.

From choosing the payment institution to an open account
Being turned down by a bank is routine for a non-resident, a foreign company or a high-risk business, and the time spent trying is wasted. We take the process on in full: we choose the payment institution, prepare the documents and run the onboarding, so what you get is a working account rather than a run of rejections.

Frequently asked questions
How does a payment institution (EMI) differ from a bank?
It is a licensed EMI: it gives you a European IBAN, SEPA and SWIFT payments and a multi-currency account. For many purposes it does the job of a bank account.
Will you open an account for a non-resident or a foreign company?
Yes. We work with companies from a range of jurisdictions and with non-residents, and we’ll find an institution that suits your case.
What if the business counts as high-risk?
We assess the activity in advance and look for an institution that is prepared to work with it. If opening an account is not going to happen, we’ll tell you straight.
How long does it take to open an account?
It depends on the jurisdiction and the structure. We give you realistic timings once we have assessed the case.
Do I need to travel there in person?
Usually not. Onboarding is done online, and we prepare and submit the documents remotely.
A payment institution account for difficult cases
Banks frequently turn down non-residents, foreign companies (Cyprus, Hong Kong, the Baltics, UK structures), trusts and businesses in high-risk sectors. An EU-licensed payment institution (EMI) solves that problem: a European IBAN, SEPA and SWIFT payments in EUR, GBP and CZK, a multi-currency account and online onboarding.
We choose the payment institution to match your activity and your jurisdiction, prepare the documents and guide you through onboarding until the account is open. We assess your chances up front, so you do not lose time collecting rejections.
We’ll open an account even in a difficult case
Send us a request or drop us a message, and we’ll assess your case and find the right payment institution. We will price the work for your business and reply within 24 hours.
