Any Euro Pacific Bank Review?

You may look into Cyprus banking. At least it works much better than Euro Pacific Bank for day to day banking.
Just got an email with no warning saying that they have had to cancel their arrangement with mastercard (the debit card they setup for the account) effective immediately (stating they had no warning) and now my business which depends on this debit card for online transactions can no longer operate. do not work with this bank, not having a card to do business in this day and age is beyond negligent and ridiculous.
Euro Pacific Bank is hardly a bank at all. I've just terminated my accounts there after an incredible amount of problems. I've been stupid enough to use them for years, but it's been a one-way down hill experience. If your time has no value, if you enjoy incompetence and negligence, if you're happy to provide ridiculous amounts of documentation prior to accepting incoming wires in order to have them pre-approved in writing, only to find them rejected once they arrive (10 business days delay is very common here)... and if you enjoy not being able to wire USD in/out and have wires cancelled randomly due︀ to recipient banks not wanting to have anything to do with EPB or if you︁ love it when banks cancels your cards with 24-hour notice because they are not trusted︂ by the card issuer... leaving your money trapped.... sure EPB is for you.
If on︃ the other hand you want to deal with someone who cares, takes you seriously and︄ speaks/writes proper English and has a real phone number (not a call center who can︅ only take messages) then you need to look elsewhere. I've opened accounts in many countries...︆ Andorra, Australia, Austria, BVI, Saint Vincent, Cayman, Canada, Liechtenstein etc... I guess you can say︇ it's a hobby of mine.... however EPB stands apart from the rest, they are incredibly︈ incompetent and careless (will loose your paperwork and ask for it again and again and︉ again). Save your time and energy, go elsewhere. Management at EPB also don't care one︊ iota - that includes Schiff himself and Devin their Global Head of Client Services. Useless︋ morons who do nothing but waste your time and money.
Of course most of the︌ "employees" don't actually work in SVG or PR, they work from home from Canada, Italy,︍ Israel etc. - it's not a real bank, it's an expensive intermediary borderline criminal institution.︎
I had near half a million with EPB, used their trading platform (Saxo Bank re-sell)️ which is very basic (go IB or similar for quality) - the service on every single service has been rotten from day one... total waste. Avoid at all costs.
I could go on, but instead I moved on. Have a good day out there! 🙂

I'm done with EPB ...
Downhill from day one ... spent years and years with them, with the recent no card problem, that is still not resolved (for non sepa clients) ..
Imagine you use your mastercard for day to day business operations, and now it's almost 2 months without a card, and they didn't even find a replacement yet ... let alone print and send the card ...
the worst thing is that they had like 2 or 3 days notice before the card was deactivated ....
Everytime your receive or send a wire, it stays for ages before they execute it, and you︀ need documentation for every single thing; and as the guy before me said, they will︁ ask for the same thing time and time again, totally unprofessional .. it's a joke︂ right now ..
And after all this crappy service, they still get the highest comissions︃ and maintenance and transaction fees ..
Anyway, I'm looking for alternatives guys .. any ideas︄ ?
I found CIM banque .. and maybe something in cyprus (what in particular) ..︅
please advise.
Thank you

For RBC bank Cyprus do you have to do a face to face on site to open an account or do they accept online applications and alternate verification?
If they are watching, then it only confirms their extreme stupidity and arrogant attitude. Over the last 4-5 years they've made zero changes for the better, they are getting worse by the day (especially with higher amounts). This is a rotten organization on all levels, hell I even wrote Schiff himself multiple times who of course didn't respond, but again, why should he give a s**t. A quick search shows EPC is of the same︀ caliper as EPB. Bottom line; they are trying to run themselves into the ground...(and succeeding︁ judging by this and other threads). I'm so glad my nightmare with the incompetent retards︂ is over.
Couldn't agree more ... They simply don't care︁ about their clientele; that's the vibe you get ...
But the level of unprofeesionalism and︂ disorganisation is unmatched ..
And yeah by the way; they still don't have a card︃ for non sepa members .. Something is seriously wrong going on there ...

I opened an account with them around one and a half year ago, stuffed the account and didn't do much with them.
Now incoming transfers failed and so I had to use their message system (online banking).
No answers even after 10 days.
In addition I found some more reviews (2019!) here:

Now I am really afraid, that I will never get my money back!

Same as Mister Tango and most other EMI's 😕 I don't favor any of the mentioned, but I don't accept that point as a evidence for fraud.
I never said anything about fraud man .. I'm just saying they are really in a tough spot now ..
The bank is associated with Peter, I don't think he can be running a fradulent company he is very much a public figure ...
The lack of a bank card is really hurting my business .. I never had an issue with them, it just takes time to do stuff, like send and receive︀ wires (running a 100% legitimate business, have nothing to hide) ... and the fees are︁ ridiculous at this point (I think last I checked 100usd for USD wire transfer).

I really fail to see the connection here. You're comparing apples to oranges.
Peter works in financial services, I'm betting the bank is nothing compared to euro pacific capital or his gold business .. His image is his asset, the guy appears every other day in some news network to basically sell his services and books ...
If I was in peter's shoes, I'd sell the bank years before anything happens ..

Your completely naive but I don't blame you. Have you even looked at Peters businesses and seen the money that left him after clients deserted him on mass...lol. Do you even know anything about Euro Pacific Banks financials. Your blind faith in a smooth talking Peter Schiff will be ultimately your down fall. He is a︀ smooth talker who even owes $1m+ in penalties/taxes to IRS because he does not even︁ know how to file tax paperwork properly. I would not trust such a person and︂ nor do any of his clients...but he talks a good fight about financial markets.
Seeing someones face on a news network does not make them legit...lol. Alan Stanford was all︃ over the news and television and turned out to be running a Ponzi. Watch the︄ below video to understand how high profile confidence tricksters work
