You don't have sufficient posts that's why you can't start a conversation / PM 🙂 FYI How to start Conversation
I have so many members here either contacting me or request me to contact them just to discuss what is the best for their situation that I'm forced to keep privact discussion to only be about what I'm selling.
You are welcome to open a thread so I may reply if I'm able to help 😉

Most of the posts here are outdated ........ folks. Opening an Offshore account for a business is becoming difficult by the day now. I am trying to open a corporate account for my Delaware incorporated business since 2 months already and believe me folks, still I am in square one! Every bank I approached has some way of repelling US registered businesses this way or that way. Now I am approaching the opinion that only a US bank will be available for me but then comes the need of tax papers, EINs and so on. It is becoming a nightmare!! I would be damn happy︀ if someone can give me a reliable lead to a non US bank anywhere in︁ the world for my business which wouldn't kill me with substantial opening fees, monthly maintenance︂ fees, minimum account balances ....... and so on. My startup business wouldn't be able to︃ digest such rippers at the beginning.
quick question @Thirsty Beaver - did you try a Cyprus bank or don't you want to go that route? they only require you to comply to FATCA regulations but they open the account for US corps. and citizens?
I would stay︄ away from any bank that still opens LLC business bank accounts outside of the US.︅ To my knowledge there is none.Even if it were, it will soon follow the rest︆ of the bunch. What was the logic behind opening a US LLC if you are︇ obviously doing business in Europe?
Yes, I repent. I should've registered a company somewhere else other than US. Now I am re-thinking to get out of this mess, if I knew the difficulties before, I would have saved lot of money!!
Yes, I have contacted few banks there in Cyprus. Piraeus Bank has come up with a huge list of required documents. Takes time to prepare all that. Anyway I have no other choice. I will write here if any thing useful come from there.
I'm not sure if I should write it publicly(I can't write PMs yet) but I've learned a lot of stuff from here, so:
mBank SA- previously known as BRE Bank I use it personally and some "Polish" LLCs use it (e.g. aftermarket)
PKO BP SA - govt-owned, I don't recommend it for privacy because they held bank account of some EU bet company and "leaked" customer data to customs - betting and gambling (there are some exceptions for licensed companies) is illegal in Poland
BPH (got acquired by Alior Bank)
Alior Bank SA itself, but they are owned in 30-40% by govt (indirectly)
It's also︀ worth to mention, that Alior has it own Currency Exchange platform, which give free USD,︁ GBP, EUR MasterCard with IBAN (there are more currencies but without card) with really competitive︂ rates.
(not sure) ING Bank Slaski SA
(not sure) BZWBK SA
(not sure) Bank Millenium︃ SA
However, I'm not sure if they'll service for a non-EU resident director. Most of︄ the businesses I've checked were owned or managed by Poles.
There are some people in︅ darkweb that are selling accounts, but that's illegal ("owners" of account are often not aware︆ that they are the victim of identity theft).
I do not own any LLC, but︇ I wanted to have and I did some research. I heard about some Lavtian, Czech︈ and British bank (visit in UK required) that can open account for WY/DE LLC but︉ I don't know the details.
Just google "LLC DE USA site😛l" or "LLC IBAN︊ site😛l" or whatever comes to your head, check some allegro sellers and look for︋ their IBAN and then check the bank.
If you want more info, contact me, but︌ I think that I've said enough.

I have a WY︌ LLC, but I asked for closed it to Agent, because FATCA.... SUCKS A LOT.
WY LLC is a good option if there was no FATCA rules.. Really is very cheap︍ have a WY LLP, I paying for 300$ /yr.
If you think openn any US︎ LLC, pelase take care about FACTA, the bank will report all statements to the US️ government.
