IMBL (International Merchant Bank, St. Kitts) - is this a legit bank?

I was offered to open an account there but there's not too much info on the bank, only their website International Merchant Bank, LTD.

It looks pretty real, I believe the experts are on easter vacation since they don't shim in.

Looks like they are regulated by the Financial Services Regulatory Commission of Nevis

They seem legit, would be interesting to see if they have proper correspondent network for wires.

A friend opened a Nevis LLC and before settling for a bank outside of Nevis was approved for an account at IMBL.. Monthly fees were very high as of 2022, something like $200-250 per month. Will ask if he has more details. He was moving only a few hundred thousand USD and didn't see a reason to pay the fees when there were cheaper alternatives in St. Lucia and Belize which I assume have worked out.

The bank is apparently a subsidiary of the Nigerian state-owned bank of the same name. Based on what he said it struck me as a shady bank but I would also be curious to know more if anyone has tried them out.
