Hi on a TV commercial in the Netherlands I came across the bank called bunq.

It's close to number26 but everyone can open an account doesn't matter if you are living in Ireland or not.

It's really easy to do and there are many ways of verification but they will simple call you within the app for the verification.

I know i should have posted more information but I don't have access to a computer at this moment.

Maybe this is something for number26 replacement or just a different view?

You can also open a shared account and allowed to open 10 free bank accounts in your account. First card is free but then 9.00 for a 4 year valid card as far as I could see.

Oh and website is www.bunq.com but they do not offer a web version it's more like "monzo" in the UK/NI

Their app is really well-made and their support is great. Also, the ten IBANs is interesting. I don't use them though because I don't like the card they offer.

They've since changed the pricing slightly, but still free if don't use the card. The shorter Dutch IBANs freak out some businesses here though.
