Euro Pacific Bank - card alternative

[KJK]

Hi,

I'm a citizen of France and I've been using EPB and their prepaid card for some withdrawals.

Probably because of their move to Puerto Rico they wanted me to fill out some US government form which by itself was ridiculous. They investigate every incoming transfer like idiots and delay it for weeks.

Quite often I've reached the daily card limits because that's what the card is for I assumed... right, making withdrawals. I don't want to keep more money then necessary with this shitty bank.

Now they even blocked my card and are asking why I'm making ATM withdrawals so frequently and always at the daily limit amount. I cannot use the card and they told me they are waiting for something. If I ordered another card, they said it wouldn't help.

I don't want to use the bank anymore, I just want to get the money out. Any alternatives? I can send wire transfers (EUR only, not USD) but it would be stupid to send it directly to my account.

So what are the possible alternatives?

Use AdvCash and Darks, it Works perfectly fine. Their verified Card has no ATM limits and you can order a USD and EUR Card which can be used Worldwide. Have used mine at many countries already.

Sure, that's nice but if I want to make a third party deposit to Advcash, the bank will ask for some documentation (like contracts or invoices etc).
I cannot just send money to some random guy's name and say he's my consultant or friend or bulls**t like that.

My current card has €750 daily limit, I know I could get a better card with some EMI but I'm looking for solution to my current situation.
I.e. how to get money out of EPB when they don't want me to use the prepaid card (for which I'm paying a monthly fee).

They already locked my card in the past when I used it abroad, they unlocked it afterwards.
But now they are blocking it because according to the card issuer I'm making too many withdrawals.

Their entire bank is a joke. The owner is this idiotic old school banker who recently said bitcoin is scam and everyone should buy gold...
I see no future in this bank or in the owner/CEO of this company. I think everyone will eventually switch to something like Bitcoin or Monero soon.

Btw I don't do anything with bitcoin but I was told they automatically block everything related to Bitcoin and Russia (incoming and outgoing transfers). This does not apply to me but I find it ridiculous...

Funny that they called me several times and offered me investing into gold via their brokerage account. Thanks but no thanks, I'm already paying ridiculosly high fees for transfers.
All I wanted is an usable card but now they cannot provide even this simple thing.

but in the future it would Work for you or not?

EPB is a joke I agree I stoped using them almost before I started with them. I have a Cyprus bank account too in my name with Bank of Cyprus, was hard Work to get it done but at least finally I got it.

I don't care about future, I care about now. I moved to EPB because my former bank stopped doing business with certain jurisdiction.

They are pathetic, now apparently they moved to Puerto Rico and they want everyone to fill out some W8BEN forms for US government, otherwise they will steal 30% of your money. Also they block your card and are absolutely unable to say when/if they will unblock it.

So the only thing working are wires. I'm asking again (for the third time) - is there any good way to get money out of EPB with wires?
I don't want to risk sending money directly from my company to my personal bank account. Even if EPB approved it, it could be a huge red flag.

Is there any service that accepts company wires, so that I can later withdraw in cash / crypto / prepaid card? Advcash is out of the question.
All my business is legal, I can provide the docs. The only problem is that the Europacificbank is blocking everything.

How much money is it you need to transfer? Depending on the answer you may setup a Seychelles corp with Cyprus banking and ask EPB to transfer the money to this setup! I have personally done that before without problems and without to complete any forms!

You could also use LeuPay or WorldCore for this purpose! I'm not 100% certain that worldcore would work actually but you may check if they have already introduced own IBAN account numbers.
