Perhaps my current framework might be a bit biased from the consumer side of things and I do agree that conducting business without a bank account can be a pain but the workarounds exist, they aren't perfect by any means, but I would take that any idea over begging for a bank to let me in. Not to mention the fact that there are possibly other jurisdictions outside the EU where he can have his banking setup that won't give him these headaches. The tools and means are there, begging for permission isn't it
