Puerto Rico Bank Account for Panama company?

[ciccino]

Is there any bank in Puerto Rico that will open a bank account for a Panamanian company, no EuroPacificBank, but only one that is part of the US banking system with ABA/Routing Number.

Also is that true that there is no CRS in Puerto Rico?

I'm an Italian citizen resident in Panama

Try Banco Popular,⁤ there are the biggest bank in PR. Be careful about Venezuelan branches (PR is full⁣ of them), keep in mind PR bank license is the cheapest one (half a million)⁢ and lots of banks are merely an office with a couple of business developers, handling︀ the entire backend in Caracas.

Is Banco⁤ Popular part of the US Banking system? Also, can I open it remotely or I⁣ must visit the place in person?
Thank yoy

All banks in PR are part of the US system (FDIC). They all need personal⁠ visit.

I read a comment that EuroPacific Bank has no‍ Aba / routing number

 

[EuroKiss]

Dunno, never used EPB, anyway they all should have ACH at least‍ for wire transfer.

I think this is true for domestic banks but‍ there are international banks based in PR that aren't FDIC insured and some that don't⁠ even have ACH.

Try Standard Bank International it has ABA⁠ routing but its more for Asian customers. Try also Ital Bank has also ABA routing.⁤ Ital is specifically for those in South America. Both are in Puerto Rico.

I know some of them since they're well known in Latinamerica.

Italbank, Facebank,‍ Stern Bank, NodusBank aren't FDIC-insured banks.
Bancolombia Puerto Rico isn't FDIC insured and doesn't have⁠ ABA.
