The weird thing is I think the bank is in Belize. It's kind of funny having a bank in Belize demanding citizens from countries like the US provide all this information due to fraud. I might understand it if they were Chase bank asking Ukraine citizens for two forms of ID but that isn't the case.
Paypal is the way to go. They seem to be moving to being more adult friendly and the risk of being screwed is far less. I've had a Paypal account since around the turn of the century and I don't remember the last time I had to send an ID or verify anything besides a new bank account or credit card and all I had to do is confirm a certain deposit amount (as opposed to sending copies of the card or me holding it up). There is almost no bullshit at all.
