Smile hero: Alicia
Meet Alicia’s success story! When this brave woman ventured from Puerto Rico to Belgium, she was faced with an unexpected challenge: opening a bank account. She went from bank to bank, but they all required local documents that she did not possess. The frustration of not being able to collect her salary or cover her expenses was overwhelming, and Alicia felt trapped in an untenable situation.
Alicia lived this nightmare until a friend told her about Moneytrans. It was a real turn of fortune, as she realised that she could open a current account with just a foreign passport and proof of address. This opportunity completely changed her life and freed her from the financial distress she had been experiencing.
Don’t let financial complications stop you! With Moneytrans, you will find a simple and effective solution for your international financial needs.
"It was easy: I just needed a basic account where I could deposit and withdraw my money, and a card."
How did you find out about the account and what do you think of it?
I heard about it through a friend who had already moved to Belgium a few months ago. He went through a similar experience, and when I told him about the problems I was having, he recommended me to call Moneytrans.
Why Moneytrans?
The Smile Account offered me at the time everything I needed to be able to move forward and settle into the new life I was starting. It was easy: I just needed a basic account where I could deposit and withdraw my money, and a card.
They made it easy for me so I didn’t have to think about it too much.
"The future must be one of opportunity, and one of inclusion. I know that there are people and companies that are moving to help people who are struggling."
What about the future?
The future must be one of opportunity, and one of inclusion. I know that there are people and companies that are moving to help people who are struggling. I think we are moving forward and I think there are fewer and fewer limits and more and more opportunities.
What would you say to someone in your situation?
I would tell them to get good information, not to get hung up on the first bank they find and not to accept abusive commissions and requirements. There are neobanks or payment institutions that already allow you to have current accounts in an easier and cheaper way.
