There are a huge number of posts on Euro Pacific Bank, but since this is recent I will post this here. Advice for those who want to get out of the bank.
There support and operations are fairly sloppy, though they do get the job done eventually.
To get out of the bank you are best off making one test transfer, to make sure you have a working route out, and then one big transfer with all your funds.
I can confirm the route out to Transfer Wise's Belgium-based bank (EUR IBAN) works, but I would recommend checking it.
If you have a large sum of money Transfer Wise will ask for proof of origin for those funds and Euro Pacific have quite woeful statements to prove that. They don't produce any single document that lists the name of your entity, your address and the company who paid you.
You can export a list of all your transfer in which lists the source of funds, the value and the corresponding transaction id. That can then be cross-referenced with their e-statements which only list the transaction id and amount. The e-statements have the address.
I don't know what Transfer Wise took as proof of funds, as I sent them both the list of transactions and the e-statements; and I sent them all the wire forms from the company that sent me the money.
Euro Pacific also have individual wire reports, which can be found on the account history page. There are three small dots next to the transaction that link to who sent it, the amount and transaction Id. However this does not include any mention of your entity or address.
I had a Euro Pacific Bank account for over five years and many early transactions are missing and many others don't allow me to produce a transaction report, which essentially provides the incoming wire form.
So gather all the documentation you can before you transfer out. My transfer was verified within an hour of providing the documentation. If you have all that you should have your cash the same day your incoming wire hits.
