Nice, thanks for sharing!
Correct, this is not a true multicurrency account as I can see, hence perhaps not qualified for this thread; nevertheless, FV Bank has another undisputable pros, like crypto-friendliness and non-AEOI/CRS location... (not very cheap, though)
Both interesting; I admit that never heard of (that means nothing).
Yes, they are good, have already been named above.

They are silent about pricing at webpages ”“ are you aware, @xeathk?

What bank you are referring to here ?Marshal said:
Yet another bank that converts all deposits into USD. Same thing with Xapo. I like almost everything about that bank, but the ability of only holding USD currency is a big downside.

It is in regards to Amnis. They have unique CH IBANS since March 2024. They only work for local SIC transfers.Forester said:
Just a tiny amendment ”“ if nothing has changed very recently (~4 months), they have a LI licence, not a CH one (but being a CH company) and they have had as partners Erste Bank AT and The Currency Cloud (UK), so I am a little bit surprised with CH IBAN... Could you share BIC code that belongs to the CH IBAN? I wonder who is backing them there...

To be honest, I do not like this business model very much. Yet, apparently, it is working for some... 🙂
Xapo Bank

Well, I have not said that it is wrong, just that I do not like it very much. See, I believe in transparency in many (not all!) cases and a simple retail banking is one of them. It is fully understandable that e.g. in private (U)HNWI banking all the conditions are negotiable, as every business case can be (an many times is) different, therefore (almost) nothing is published. Similarly with the banking focused at high-risk businesses. But they present themselves (at least I understand it so) as a general platform; and in such a case I welcome when I can see immediately the pricing and TOS and am able to evaluate whether it is worth some further effort or not... But this is just my position.
didn't heard of these before. It's an astonishing thread.
which sadly does not get supplied 🙁
Why Xapo?cryptodefi said:
regarding XAPO, I read that they only send SEPA not wire or swift anymore.
I need to send 6 figs USD wire or swift from crypto dividends (all legal)
would they be a good pick?

I generally keep our rails private rather than public - due to the fear every bob and his uncle will start using and then it gets used for massive scale laundering and then the accounts get frozen and you loose funds and rails.
Exactly! Some people are unaware of their own absurdities, and we don't want to risk having (yet-to-be convicted) "criminals" like, e.g., ransomware gang members, using our solutions to wreak havoc on us. Every time someone uses a system/platform and brings attention to it by doing it the wrong way, the "regulators" (I only use this term because others are "used" to it) shut it down and start justifying their salaries by scribbling more limitations that FIs monkeys follow religiously. doh948""wellington said:

Why not Xapo?
I think with Xapo you can only send USD to US banks and SEPA transfers are limited to €100K per transfer. But nothing stops you from making 10 transfers, or as many as you need.cryptodefi said:
