Bank recommendation due my situation

[Carlos]

Hello guys,

My story goes like this: I work as a developer on an adult website, my clients pay me throught Firstchoicepay (used to), as you may already know Choice Bank is on trouble so I cannot use them anymore, I can also get paid using a Wire Transaction, so it means I need to open a Bank account, I need a non-AEOI/CRS offshore bank account, I can fly to any country that can offer me what I need in order to open it, basically I need to send around 10k monthly and be able to widthdraw the money from any ATM around the world.

I have heard things about Montenegro and Serbia, but I don'k know if there are better options and I don't know which are the recommend banks there.

Hi, What's your country of residence?

 

[Carlos]

It's chile, but I‌ cannot receive money here, they ask me for documentation that I cannot provide.

 

[mrau]

ok, I see. I thought you lived in Europe so I was going to suggest‌ a bank in the EEA with remote account opening.
Europacific Bank opens remotely and is‍ based in a non-AEOI/CRS jurisdiction (Puerto Rico). They accept residents in South America. However, I⁠ heard they use to request paperwork too. 🙁

Cyprus banks open remote, you just need an introducer. The baltic countries are the best‌ choice if privacy and CRS matters. At least at the time we speak it's the‍ best.

Montenegro was a kind of headache, when I have tried to work with them
You need to take a look at US and Middle Asia, for sure
Actually, US is‌ a world policeman, they pushing on all banks institutions worldwide to implement reporting standarts, but‍ they would not take part in it
They just want to be the one tax⁠ heaven🙂

I don't mind⁤ flying, and I don't really want to do it on Puerto Rico, that is why⁣ I was looking at other countries.

Thanks, I am︁ going to check The Baltic Countries.

Why was Montenegro a︃ problem?

 

[Samuel Newman]

difficult and stupid compliance
also, they may not accept anything associated with adult business

P.S. I had experience for corporate‌ accounts, personal options might be easier

 

[Martin Everson]

Adult business and bank? Let us know how you get on?

 

[blizz]

Would love to learn to know a bank that can help with Adult business 😀

 

[Samuel Newman]

Carlos, you are website developer, am I right?
do no tell anyone about adult business
you may talk about it within this forum, because we all friend here, right?🙂
but for‍ bankers you are website developer and it is enough

 

[Carlos]

Sure, my accountant, my lawyer and all my helpers knows the true, I am⁤ a super star web developer 😀

OP what bank did you find for your business after all?

 

[Carlos]

Well, right now I am testing a local bank account, the important thing is‍ to not say about the kind of business, I just say I am a developer⁠ and I don't have a contract, I just do on a weekly basis what they⁤ want me to do.

And since most adult companies pay with a different name, I⁣ feel it's going to continue being alright.

s
seem to be⁣ the only right way to go. Local banks won't ask as many questions as offshore⁢ banks do!
