@poguestra If you need one quickly, look at wise.com. My Euro account has a Belgian address and has a BIC and IBAN.

Did you start the process already with a bank ?

Any major bank will do the job...
KBC/CBC, ING, Fortis, Belfius...
but if you're a freelance, you might want to consider other one (KBC/CBC, Fintros, ...)

@poguestra They apparently don't like links on here. Wise (formerly Transferwise). I have a Euro acct with a US address

@poguestra Hi I just opened an account in KBC. They were really helpful but to open an account without Belgian residence card you have to prove that you have connections with Belgium. I gave them my work contract and my renting contract, but they still had to decide on that and gave me the basic account only. So I suggest you open an account online at Wise. It's easy and you can do it for any current address. I used my address in Serbia.
