EU banks for UK residents

@pootle

See the thread here.

Maybe they weren’t supposed to, but there was nothing to stop you ordering one a few years ago. I got one sent to me in the UK, but I may have had to ask for it via their support. I can’t remember.

I can also only think of Wise (BE) and Fineco (IT) as in-Eurozone IBANs now.

Another thing of interest to me is “Eurozone-identifying BIN cards”, which I used to use my KBC Ireland debit card for to avoid DCC. The next best thing is a prepaid multi-currency Mastercard, which DCC is banned on, so Revolut Mastercards may suffice for this. I haven’t travelled extensively enough in the DCC-heavy countries lately to test that though.
