Have not found any mentions of the astra-trust.com on the forum. Perhaps, anyone could say anything about them? Something like whether you had any troubles with them or if they are solid.
Had any experience with Astra Trust guys?

Never heard of. Not a well-known, reputable service provider. They have been around for barely one year.
They claim to be based in Saint Vincent and The Grenadines but they are not a registered agent or trustee (Registered Agents and Trustees – Financial Services Authority), which you have to be in order to offer trust and corporate services, which Astra Trust claims they do.
At best, they are just a reseller. They don't seem to offer anything unique or special enough to justify going with a reseller instead of going direct to the source.

I used them to open an account for a BVI company. They did good and I transferred the company to them eventually from ONE IBC scam.
Quite knowledgeable on the industry, as I asked tonnes of questions related to trusts and other things they answered patiently. Overall decent service, can recommend them.

@Offshr Could you share more details please? Is it going well with them since then, have you used Nominee services as well?
Anyone else who has used their services, please share your experience, that would be highly appreciated.
I am considering to use them. But what I don't︀ like is that their website looks quite shady. No team members, no real contact info.︁ Just an address in SVG - obviously of an offshore company. It seems like if︂ the site just disappears tomorrow there is no one to look for and asks questions.︃

If you feel like that you should not use them! That's what I do, if it feels like s**t I don't touch it.
I am happy with them, they response︀ within the same day most of the times. Everything went clear and fast with them.︁ I use their nominees as well for another project, they offer a director and shareholder,︂ but no nominee UBO. In general - I do not have any issues with them︃ so far and from my previous experience they are not bad at all in servicing.︄ They also do not give me some nonsense as some other providers.
I also do︅ not care much about "team members" on site, fake reviews and all other nonsense. For︆ years of using offshore I learned a lot about companies with "legitimate" websites lol.

Sketchy guys. I reached out to get more information about setting up a company, and this is what happened:
1. In private, they ask you for different prices of what is listed on their website (biggest red-flag ever when doing business on the internet), saying their website is gonna be updated because inflation prices are not the same anymore blablabla... It's not like inflation has been there for multiple quarters now.
2. When asking about the annual renewal fee, they told me the price is the same as incorporation price. So you would have to pay the same as your incorporation fee every year.
Redflags everywhere. Stay safe!

Astra Trust are legit, reputable corporate servises providers. I am dealing with them for years already. Their services are fast, reasonably priced and they always deliver what they claimed.
I had a lot of experiwnce with many providers over years, and I can confirm that Astra Trust is a reputable provider.

It probably comes down to asking them whether they can actually help you open an account, either with a bank or an EMI.
If they can't, and they also can’t suggest any place where they know you can get a bank account, then it doesn’t really matter, especially if having a bank account is a requirement.
