Someone know AfrAsia Bank Limited bank?

[bastard]

I have been in touch with an agent that can open a bank account for offshore Companies with
Bank Different - AfrAsia Bank | Corporate & Investment Banking | Private Banking & Wealth Management | International Banking | Treasury - min. deposit is $1000 no personal visit is required.

Do you know the bank and are they easy to apply for account opening?

I'm looking into it it's a Russian bank with branches in a few countries right?‌

I'm trying to open an account myself. They are a‍ Mauritius based bank.

Afrasia requires a management company to open an account. My registered agent stated they could‌ do it for $500 but they've been told that currently Afrasia is not accepting new‍ applications as they are streamlining their procedures. I spoke with another management company who was⁠ not aware of this and said they could open the account for $1000 which is⁤ a bit steep for me. Anyone have any other good cheap management companies that could⁣ do this?

Isn't it the same as an introducer you⁢ mean?

 

[mnschwarz]

I guess it's the same yes. That's all they do really - introduce.

Some f them complete the forms and everything so the client only need to sign‌ where indicated with an X and return it by e-mail and postal mail 🙂

Is there an update to this bank. Last reply is 3 years old and I‌ see the first time after that someone is mentioning them as an option for banking‍ for Seychelles and UK companies?

You will most likely need an introducer, but they do accept foreign companies. They prefer‌ if you have a connection to Africa or Asia but that seems to be a‍ pretty soft requirement.

 

[boomy]

So if I find a introducer that⁠ has a long relationship with them and I have a legit business it should work⁤ to open an account with them you say?

 

[Sols]

Only way to know is to apply. You can save⁠ time by speaking with them (directly or via introducer) before you submit to see if⁤ there are any immediate show-stoppers.
