Open bank account with Russian passport

Hi Anna,

I agree with you, but unfortunately this is happening in other countries as well ...

Hello, it is possible to open a bank account with a Russian passport with the new Nickel bank! Super easy and only 20€ which is really cheap

Just to inform you that Nickel bank:

- IS NOT member of SIBS, the Portuguese ATM & POS network 

- it is a fintech operating in Portugal through BNP Paribas, and HAS NO branches nor a retail banking operation in Portugal.

Dear Sirs,
my client is from Russia and need to open a bank account here in Portugal with his russian passport, which bank will accept his docs?
Looking forward to receiving your reply Best regards

Hi and welcome,

I'd suggest you and/or "your client" do an search for "Portuguese Banks" using any popular search engine and then contact whichever banks your popular search engine lists as a result. Select the maybe 8 banks and send each a message in English and Portuguese (use online translator if your Portuguese is poor) asking the question you have asked here, maybe miss the "my client" bit out as this may be taken to have a different meaning than you probably expect. PM me if you need further guidance on how to contact banks.

This absolutely shocking. I wasn't aware that this went so far. I hope tat you can find financial institutions that have not yet lost their mind.

It used to be called collective punishment.

However, it's only a crime when bad people do it, but never when the good guys engage in criminal acts.

oh, hang on .....
