Thing is, we are from Russia. And LHV requires some "proof of our company connection with Estonia economy, like existing contract or utility bills". What proof can there be if the company is just started and not fully operational without bank account (hence, no contracts) and is not physically present in Estonia (hence, no utility bills)?
It sucks being Russian these days because of our warmongering dictator. :-/
- corford 7y agoI've heard a borderless account with TransferWise can be a quick, painless route
- csomar 7y agoI'd advise to read reviews about TransferWise. They seem to have a very shitty service and non-functional website.
- corford 7y agoPerhaps but the banking bit works (it's German Handelsbank underneath)
- Andrew_nenakhov 7y agoThat's what we ended up with. So far the experience itself was good, but unfortunately it does not solve all our banking needs: for example, to receive payouts from Google Play you need your bank to be in the same country that a company is incorporated in. Since TransferWise is in Germany, it just doesn't work for Estonian companies. We didn't yet publish our software in Apple App Store, but I've heard that it could be a problem there, too.
- kuratkull 7y agoTransferWise is an Estonian startup btw and works great here.
- Andrew_nenakhov 7y agoProbably, but it provides a German IBAN number, and that makes it impossible to use for Google Play payouts
