About EMI Providers
An Electronic Money Institution (EMI) is a licensed financial provider that allows you to send, receive, and hold money digitally through an app or online platform.
EMIs provide access to standard bank transfer services, including SEPA transfers.
Many EMI providers:
Support international customers, subject to eligibility
Allow currency conversion to euros (EUR), if your local currency is different
May offer competitive transfer fees compared to some traditional banks
Examples of EMI providers include:
Revolut
Wise
N26
Availability and services depend on your location and the provider’s terms.

If you do not already have an EMI account:
Choose a licensed EMI provider (e.g., Revolut, Wise, N26)
Download the provider’s mobile app or register on their website
Complete identity verification (typically requires ID and proof of address)
