Mauritius banks - any experience?

[Butcher82]

Hi, I am considering opening a corporate account there.

Has anyone used any banks from Mauritius?

How long did your account opening take? How long did you wait for a card?

Are they slow to react to questions? ange¤%&

Do they receive and send funds from and to Europe fine? 😉

Thanks for sharing any experience!

Better approach with agent / authorized representative.
Banks there are good themselves, but hard to reach.
Bank One Mauritius - we had horrible experience and wasted 3 month of time without even got reviewed.
Afrasia and Maubank may be an option - but high risk like crypto, forex other stuff - no no for banks there.
So it really depends on what you need and where are you registered / located.

Thanks for the info. How long did it take you to get an account?
I will be working through an agent.

With agent it can be like a month or less if you are understandable for their compliance

Cool, hope it works.
And how much did you pay your intermediary for account opening?
Just want to compare 🙂

You wash the money through an EMI before you send it their way 😉
