Seems they are to complicated to get a bank account opened with. I read they‌ required something like USD 50,000 for personal and USD 250,000 for corporate accounts!! Who want‍ to give a new bank in the Seychelles so much money!

It's an deposit not a fee! That said it's all about trust and if you‌ want to put such amounts into 1 bank. In the past where this wasn't a‍ requirement we had a lot of people open accounts with them and most have been⁠ happy with it and even today holds accounts there.

But you can't use the deposit for the life time of the bank account I‌ guess?

True, a business partner of mine opened an account with Barclays‍ in the Seychelles for a few years ago. He was asked to make the intiial⁠ deposit of the USD 50,000 and can't used it for the life time of the⁤ account..sucks pretty much he say.

Hello Alain,

In Seychelles we have Barclays Seychelles, MCB (Seychelles), Nouvobanq, Bank of Baroda, BMI‌ Bank, and Habib Bank.

and I found a commercial‌ from Nouvobanq in the Seychelles, they seems to be a small bank.

Maybe they are easy to apply with and have less requriements compared to Barclays and others‍ there.

We're getting off topic:doh: Why do you want to deposit 25K into a bank in‌ the Seychelles?? I grant that I was considering it but never proceeded.

 

[JohnLocke]

It's not a bank for regular business, they want investments with big sums, they don't‌ touch all the small businesses who come with their hard earned money in small figures.‍ For aprox 5 years ago it was different, they took all what they could and⁠ later on they kicked them out.

That's one peace of s**t bank, they kicked us out after 7 years to be‌ a honest customer just because we didn't increased out min balance to $5000! Never open‍ an account with them guys be warned.
