I'm curious if anyone has had success in opening a bank account in Finland without a Finnish permanent address, and if so, which bank you used.
I was born in Finland and have Finnish citizenship although currently live and work in California. My wife and I are looking at purchasing a home in Helsinki — partly as an investment, but also with the goal to move there in the not-so-far future — and I was hoping to open an account to make purchasing a home easier. I spoke on the phone with OP and Danske Bank and it sounds like it's not common (or perhaps possible) to use a foreign address.
Has anyone been in a similar situation?
Thanks!
Opening a bank account with non-Finnish address?
Re: Opening a bank account with non-Finnish address?
I don't think that the address is as much problem as current money laundering laws and their demand to banks to know their customers.aramk wrote: ↑Sun May 13, 2018 11:16 pmI'm curious if anyone has had success in opening a bank account in Finland without a Finnish permanent address, and if so, which bank you used.
