What's your problem with the Russian mafia?
And why does it matter to you who washes / launders your money?
Look at HSBC,︁ Deutsche and all the others - I am sure many of the RU controlled EMI's︂ have higher ethical standards!

It's not about ethnicity, race or religion. This is a forum about offshore world hence mainly business. Nobody here cares about who you are and where you come from, what is important is MONEY and whether it's safe somewhere or not. You may not like it but countries aka crime organisations are the real oppressors and discriminators - not the business people.
The problem is that banks have︂ been there for longer and have deeper connections with the governments as well as huge︃ sums to wash that Govs benefit from. EMIs are comparatively smaller players and can be︄ easily shut down especially if any detail in an EMI isn't of some country liking︅ such as Russian ownership.

The problem is not their russian connection. The problem is that a small laundromat always gets 1) Shut down by the feds or 2) The owners make a run for it with everyone's money. The advantage is that they tend to accept anyone, big money or small money, the point for them is to get the deposits rolling. The large laundromat (HSBC & Co) will be too big to take down by the︀ feds, but the inconvenient is that they cherry pick their clients as they are not︁ looking to serve clowns with small time thug money.
An EMI will f**k you over︂ sooner or later, that's why i don't bother with them. I'd rather bank with proper︃ on-shore banks and avoid these issues. Over the years i found that hiding in plain︄ sight is the method of choice for big time criminals, that's why only 2% of︅ tax evasion is done with blacklisted tax havens.

You are right, of course, but using a big money scheme demands you having big money. And if you do... Well, I can hardly imagine Don Corleone rummaging through OSCT to look for a proper money laundering scheme 🙂 He will just︀ hire a consigliere for that.
Yeah that joke was clever...lol.
Maybe someone can point out some clean reliable russian controlled EMI's. Maybe there is more than just one out there we can use 😕

As if a nationality mattered.
AdvCash - related to Russia somehow. Trustworthy? Yes.
PayPal - not russian but ... American. Trustworthy? Read about numereous bans of accounts for no reason.
There're thousands of examples of each side that both prove and dispove your point.
Why don't create a list of EMI based on the zodiac name of their CEOs?
If EU and US don't like ... and therefore they're target... Where did you get︁ that conclusion? How does that matter what US and EU like? They may not like︂ many things. Some other countries may not like EU and US, so what?
And give︃ me examples. But not only the examples that prove your points but also the ones︄ that dispove it. Namely, how many russian ones have been shut down because "EU and︅ US don't like a flow of russian money"? How many have not been shut down︆ dispite of a said flow?
And how many non russian one have been/not shut down?︇
And by whom?
So many conclusions made out of thin air.

I just would not want my money caught in the crossfire of geopolitics between US and Russia which dragged in the EU hence avoid Russian banks and EMI's period. Look what US sanctions are doing to VTB bank in Europe because of Ukraine. I banked with VTB Georgia btw but ditched them fearing the worst when all this started.

Seriously, I'm trying to solve an opposite problem now. I NEED a Russian controlled EMI because only with them there is a chance to receive a plastic card in Russia. No genuine EU-based EMI will send a card to Russia. And I don't see any thus far.
I actually live in Russia, so I don't need russian-based EMI's. I have plenty of normal bank accounts here 🙂
What I am looking for is a NOT Russian-based EMI willing to send cards to Russia. So that I don't need to worry about CRS reports, that's it.
