To be clear, I did that because I wanted the convenience of having Leapin to also have access to my accounts so they'd handle my invoicing and expenses without any significant trouble for me (ie. sending them the account movements periodically). Originally I had an electronic payments account in a Finnish bank and for that I didn't have to travel anywhere but I needed a full bank account so I'd be able to pay dividends into it so I went there. If I just wanted to pay myself via salary I wouldn't have needed to travel there at all but I'd rather my income be via dividends than via a salary because of tax purposes in my country of residence.

That said, I could've used a business account opened in other banks (including outside of Estonia) to do that but I'd be missing out on the convenience that is them having access to the account.
