Answers to your questions about the Netherlands

Yes, but it is the step foreign owners underestimate most. Dutch banks apply strict onboarding rules and want to see a genuine link with the Netherlands: a registered company, a local address, a clear description of your activities and where the money comes from and goes to. With a well-prepared file this is very doable, and where a traditional bank declines we can set you up with a licensed payment institution that gives you a Dutch IBAN. We are honest in advance about which of the two is realistic for your profile.
