In the UK we have to establish (almost with blood samples (8-)# ) our
UK based identity.
This makes sense as once you open a false bank account, it is a door to
all sorts of fraud (so they tell me (8-)# )
I guess it is easier in mainland Europe, even if you don't live there?
What sort of ID is needed?
It could make a lot of sense for European QL trading.
I don't accept credit cards (another story!) so have to go through hoops
some times to get paid in Euros.
Mind you that is a pretty rare event now. A very recent sale was the
first European one by post for me for years.
