I need a local bank account to receive my allowances, but I cannot find a bank willing to open an account for me. Are there any options?

The Users Office has received feedback from Users who confirmed that they could open accounts and receive their allowances through direct banks operating exclusively online (e.g. Revolut). As a “CH” IBAN may not be accepted by CERN for the processing of claims/payments, it is generally possible to obtain another type of IBAN (e.g. “GB”) through direct online banks.
