Unfortunately, banking is a heavily regulated industry and the laws vary (in real and significant ways) from one country to the next. Big, multinational banks do it by opening different banks in each country, each operating according to the idiosyncratic laws of that country but all owned by a parent company that moves capital around as needed. Building a single thing for handling money that works across national boundaries without breaking laws is incredibly difficult.
