Why can't Croatians receive electronic payments as this stupid country is now a full member of the completely useless to us European Union were we are still treated as like we're not in the EU, the only option is still 'checks in the mail' yeah I can use that to wipe my ass with. And the response I got was
"However, we currently still only support check payments to the Ukraine."
 okay.. I realize Ukraine is in the news right now but I was asking about a COMPLETELY different country that starts with a COMPLETELY different letter it's not even 'U' it's 'C', that's in the EU, that's not in a state of war, bloody hell all we got was higher prices, membership fee and no perks at all, stupid Union, I might as well live in Africa it's teh same thing, like I still see sometimes horses and carriages galloping on the highway next to cars.

Why don't you blame your own country?

That has got fuck all to do with the EU. That's your banks. They most likely need to switch their systems. Do you for example have the Maestro system yet? |

Well that's half-true, the EU dictates that every account in the EU has the IBAN (international bank account number) and our banks have that since 2012 because EU made them of course. So in this case it's the other side that didn't update their system.
We couldn't even receive paypal funds until like 2-3 years ago, sure everything is dandy when you have to PAY but when you ask to receive funds then it's 
And how do you confuse Croatia with Ukraine? Oh wait I was talking to an American that's how |

I do, why are we in the EU if it's only on paper, we're still a backwater country that's not really in the EU, all this shit should have been resolved before we officially entered.
So in the end it's either move to another country or open an account in another country, hence it's like where not in the EU. |

Oh gee, they made you participate in an internationally consistent bank account numbering system, how evil of them

No, because you misunderstood my question. It's not about the bloody bank account numbers, it's about the actual banking *system*, which gives exactly 0 shits about the bank account number format.
The UK for example supports Maestro coming in and they claim their former SWIFT system is compatible with Maestro, while in reality it isn't. I've been able to use my debit card to pay in shops and restaurants in any country I've been to for at least 15 years - except the UK. They're finally properly making the switch, but it's still a bit hit and miss whether my debit card's gonna work or not in smaller shops.
That's what Croatia faces. That system also has some mechanics to allow both parties to check whether money was transferred, cancel and what not.

In what way can't we receive electronic payments? Do you mean wire transfer or something else? I've been getting paid via wire transfer for years. Paypal + bank account works fine too.
(And we have Maestro yes)
