Amazon bank account
 

Hello guys. Since I am from Bulgaria , and amazon does not support payment to bulgarian bank accounts , whats your opinion on services like payoneer and the like , and more importantly - what are the best stealth oriented payment services :) Thanks.

US or UK?

i think for US u can use payoneer. correct me if im wrong.thats the best you can do.

unless you can go to one of the EU countries and open an international bank account?

Re: Amazon bank account
 

US is fine for Payoneer correct mhhbizz.

Or you can add any bank from the Amazon Support Countries...

US banks can be opened which would be your best bet but initial deposits can be large.

Re: Amazon bank account
 

The list of countries includes the US, the UK and most countries in the eurozone (Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Spain)

i guess your nearest one is by going to greece and open an international bank account? unless you have relatives/friends that you trust? im not sure they can be trusted when they see 10k coming to their accounts every month though. haha

there are few local companies here in UK that support virtual bank account from my research, but its a bit impossible to get money in there because you have to ask amazon to put reference everytime they disburse which i dont think they will.

Nobody in EU likes us Bulgarians , and opening a bank account would be real hard :D Are payoneer c**ts like paypal , would they limit your cash for no reason and hold it for xxx days? I might try them out first , and then proceed to open bank accounts in the future.

@Callidus do you know if I catch a plane to the US and go to a bank branch , will they open a bank account for me on the spot , bear in mind i will be on travel visa and I won't have SSN/EIN/whatever US number.. What's your opinion on this? $1-2k is nothing if I can get this set up properly lol.

Re: Amazon bank account
 

A bank doesn't refuse you opening an account because 'they don't like Bulgarians'....nor would it be hard.

Yes you can open US banks - do some research before you go all the way there, i.e. call up.

Re: Amazon bank account
 

Cyprus might also be an option .the banking is quiet flexible and offer easier accessibility .it's a known offshore banking area so they're happy as long as money is legit .they shouldn't have issues with nationality

Re: Amazon bank account
 

Hm that sounds interesting. I will check that out certainly! Thanks a lot!
I will try them US banks too , the plus side would be they wont share tax info with my country :spy:

Re: Amazon bank account
 

....You HAVE to pay TAX..avoiding is NOT what you want to be doing.

Re: Amazon bank account
 

Absolutely agree with you :) Spot on , will do , no way around it!

Re: Amazon bank account
 

You can open a US bank account as tourist as long as you have a postal address and ID. BOA only require $25 deposit.

Re: Amazon bank account
 

Anybody knows if payoneer works without issues?

Re: Amazon bank account
 

Payoneer works for me for US...i set it up with greek passport and thai utility bills
Payoneer has EU withdrawal service too they offer German bank account too

Re: Amazon bank account
 

When you join Payoneer they give you TWO accounts..
One for USA, and ONE for Euro.
Different Banks, different account numbers.
Enjoy.

Re: Amazon bank account
 

What are the payoneer fees?

Re: Amazon bank account
