how i can open personal account in bank of georgia remotely

[scottfox]

You can (could) open a Solo Bank account online - it used to work for‌ European Residents even with Asian or South American passports. No intermediate... As I said before,‍ last time I checked it was working fine (beginning of 2024).

Isn't the power‍ of attorney normally with attorneys rather than banks? I am pretty sure you'll find one⁠ that allows you to allow him to just open the account.

Also I am pretty⁤ sure that if you open it online directly with the bank, there is no such⁣ need.

Still, why not just go there?

 

[Davis123]

It's not the‍ bank it's those remote accounts setup provider.

 

[Davis123]

Unfortunately they don't allow online.

 

[SCHLOSSFINANZ]

honestly I can recommend AMIO Bank (Armenia)
www.amiobank.am
remote opening possible
swiss owner, good correspondent‌ network

 

[daniels27]

Do you have an account there?

It was ABB,‍ ArmBusinessBank before rebranding. ABB was not exactly a reputable bank back then among Armenians.

Also it seems you need to be Armenian to open an account. Are you from Armenia?⁠

I am thinking of Mauritius as they are the only one that makes any sense⁤ to me now.

 

[SCHLOSSFINANZ]

yes I have an account and yes everything there changed dramatically.
no not Armenian, you‌ can open also as EU ciitizen remotely

 

[Clank]

It seems they‍ ask for Armenian social security number to open an account.

 

[daniels27]

Yes. If you have that number, you can open bank accounts with‍ most Armenian banks remotely.

Also note that most banks charge up to 200 USD for⁠ opening an account for foreigners since early 2022.

But why are we discussing Armenian banks⁤ here?

 

[SCHLOSSFINANZ]

we discuss it because it is a viable alternative to Georgia and remote opening is‌ possible.
no they don't ask for that. I was WhatsApping with an international RM and‍ he never asked (me) for that...

Would these banks (mentioned above) allow 3rd party transfer (for the purpose of otc offramp‌ for example) ?
