My experience with Ameriabank (Armenia)!

I have an account with Ameriabank. My opening was a bit more long-winded than the one mentioned in the thread.
There was an interview via web-cam. I was staying in a UAE hotel who ban a lot of IPs/websites and it did not work Had to use a VPN to get in. If you are in UAE you can use Mysterium or Riseup (with obsfucation). There is also another called ZenMate I use as a browser plugin here.
Because I am self-employed they requested some extra details on that, which took the time up. It was less intensive than an EU-based institution (say Bankera), but︀ more than something like Payoneer to TransferWise. This is a good sign IMO as I︁ don't want to be in banks that are packed with criminals from around the world.︂
There were questions on income and recent bank statements, but there were no follow ups.︃
The process was not that quick. I think many of these banks could streamline these.︄ But 95% of companies are not efficient.
It was all done online. But they also︅ have brokerage via InteractiveBrokers, and you need to post that.
I have had no issues.︆ Only problem I had was I could not send EUR within Armenia. It seems you︇ might not be able to send EUR within the country and maybe other foreign currencies.︈
The banking interface is a bit beaten, but straight-forward. Everything is in English и русскый.︉
On Armenia -
Capital adequacy ratio of the banking system is 17.6% vs 12.0% minimum︊ prudential of CBA
Liquidity ratios are rather high as well: N2.1 – 27.1%, N2.2 –︋ 111.7%
Their 2019 profit is reported as $24 million.

bad for you, but they may have had their reason since you failed their compliance!
They are used by a few guys I know through the forum, can't get anything negative on them so far.
