I believe the only place where he could open a bank account without a passport is his own home country.

It is possible with the banks in Cyprus as long as the ID card is notarized or certified by a lawyer.

ID card works fine. I have not been forced to provide a passport!

Agreed

You may want to go with a licensed PSP/EMI before you consider an account at a licensed bank. Very little advantage to opening with a bank today unless you want deposit insurance, loans etc.

agree with @Martin Everson EMI is the future for fast banking alternatives.
