Do you really think that will work?

I agree, it's about how you setup the account and if you have sufficient funds and⁠ resources to do things right.

 

[Milky Moon]

I know it‌ works.

Hi,

[Martin Everson]

Not heard of them before but they sound interesting.

 

[lostguy]

thank you, it seems you‌ know your stuff. I'm working it out right now.

I also know:

Mistertango – Smarter Payments Online Easy account opening. IBAN + Mastercard.

Sogexia - Compte de Paiement et Carte Bancaire MasterCard Prépayée Easy account opening, you can get‌ 4 or 5 Mastercards with 1 account.

ePayments.com | UK account and online payments, send‍ and receive money online Easy account opening only took half an hour to get an⁠ IBAN. You can also order a Mastercard but didn't try that yet.

Say hello to⁤ Denizen, the premier account for global citizens. They are new. Looked promising. But they got⁣ a lot of new requests. I applied 3 weeks ago and still not approved. I⁢ got an excuse email. That was 9 days ago and they promised to make a︀ decision within 5-7 days. Still didn't hear from them.

 

[Milky Moon]

Denizen is partly owned by BBVA, accepts signups from US/ES/DE but will add⁤ 10 EU countries by the end of September.

 

[dimitri]

That's Spanish. Not‍ surprising that it takes them weeks to look at some documents.

i need iban+card from reputable bank/emi not one of those restricted to europe.

[Milky Moon]

100 thumbsups

is there any good bank that does not require a visit‌ which can be opened from any place in the world ?

it's not possible with‍ us banks so what about other nations

😉

 

[diablo]

you mean a‍ bank outside of Europe?

 

[extremedox101]

yes

 

[diablo]

I which I would know since I'm for the look as well! There was ABC‌ Bank Mauritius, seems impossible today, then there are mentioned a hundred times a bank in‍ Belize (which seems to be the on in cross fire at the moment) and finally⁠ there are banks mentioned in Bermuda, Panama and Costa Rica.

Strange thing is, no one⁤ can mention names or any success story how they bank or have opened an account⁣ with one of these offshore banks!

I hope there are banks out there like the⁢ banks in Cyprus that will allow account opening using an introducer and this way remote.︀

 

[extremedox101]

i found this but it's european /swiss
Open a Swiss Bank Account - CIM Private‌ Bank

can you vouch for it?

 

[Martin Everson]

CIM bank is legit. But too expensive for my taste.

 

[extremedox101]

good . now i'm checking Frequently asked question about account opening - CIM Banque‍

The minimum to open an account is 5 000 CHF / EUR / USD for⁠ a personal current account,

sound ok .

 

[Martin Everson]

Check their fees :-(

 

[extremedox101]

is there other initial fees ? no problem so far
Compare fees of our credit‌ cards - CIM Bank
Personal Bank Account - CIM Swiss Private Bank

i don't understand‍ this . processing fees MasterCard PrepaidVisa Prepaid
"Min. 60 CHF/bill + costs of correspondent banks"⁠

 

[Martin Everson]

Ask them directly for their full Fee Schedule.

You know there is an issue when‌ a bank don't publish their full fee schedule on their website..lol ;-)
