Which banks accept high risk clients in 2020?

[JustAskin]

Looks like I am considered being a high risk client. I am doing marketing for forex/gambling companies and my onshore banks stopped accepting transactions related to these.
I need a real bank account (no EMI/fintech) where I can get my payments.

Please recommend as many banks as possible.
My business is legit, onshore, in an European country.

¿Why not an EMI? They are many that accept high risk customers

Look at Mauritius and Seychelles as they have many Forex related business there

 

[JustAskin]

EMIs are not secure enough. Look at wirecard.

They already rejected me‍ a few years ago from a Mauritius bank. But I will take another look.

Any other recommendations?

 

[Sir Gelato]

I was thinking about bitsafe as an emi, but banking in⁠ Mauritius and Seychelles could fit your needs
Take care

 

[JustAskin]

Any particular bank that‍ you can recommend there?

 

[CaptK]

Bank one are very good

 

[JustAskin]

I contacted bitsafe. They‍ dont accept gambling and forex.

 

[Sir Gelato]

Mcb bank in Mauritius and Seychelles, been working with them with many clients of mine.‌

Check Bank of Cyprus through introducer. They have relaxed their policies lately and accept high‌ risk businesses.

Not sure why promoting forex or any other service would consider you as high risk.‌

Anyway, just tell the bank that you are promoting something else that its not considered‍ high risk. Or simply say you are running a marketing company and dont go to⁠ much into details.

 

[BlueMist]

They will want those details, screenshots, agreements,⁤ invoices to know in detail what are you into. If you say marketing company, they⁣ will want to know exactly what kind of marketing, what are you promoting or selling⁢ etc. You can't just say marketing company and open auto workshop.

 

[CaptK]

Financial Services consulting and business introducer. Could be a good reason and if you can‌ tweak your contracts to suit they may look at it differently.

 

[Dandyline]

Sounds crazy to me, they should be⁤ happy to get new customers. Never had a bank ask me that much details.

I assume he is working with a affiliate network, so would be easy to give details⁣ but for another niche.

 

[BlueMist]

You must be new here and you didn’t open a business bank account in⁤ the last years for high risk businesses. Banks don’t understand affiliate networks. European banks will⁣ ask for as much details as possible. Lately I tried to explain Bank of Cyprus⁢ about ad network aggregator, something like Admob, they don’t understand. They want to know who︀ will I be advertising through admob (so who are their customers) like if I knew︁ who will they sell the ad space.

 

[Dandyline]

Affiliate marketing is not⁢ a high risk business.

I have opened business accounts in several european countries and never︀ had any issues.

I can assume that some banks in cyprus and similar countries can︁ have issues like this due to lazy and non business minded staff.

 

[BlueMist]

Cyprus has always been business minded place. Affiliate gambling⁤ is what is considered high risk.

 

[GlobalConsult]

That`s BS!‌ Wirecard is a Bank and not EMI. And banks don't go bankrupt?

Furthermore, EMI are‍ safer than banks. At the bank (at least in the EU) the deposits are only⁠ secured up to 100k, at EMI 100% !!!

You might have a look at the service bank.pro that helps to open bank accounts.‌ However i do not have experience with them and i would also be very interested‍ about every ones opinion about them, becasue i would be very interested to work with⁠ them, but since banking data is very confidential, i am havin a hard time to⁤ give them all the information. this is also generally an interesting pint that i also⁣ would be intersted to hear from you what you think about this and what you⁢ recommedn to protect against identity theft or illegal personal data sellers. I saw services that︀ are monitoring the dark net for information about one self. that i would be also︁ very intersted about your expreiences with monitoring companies like that. I am also unsure if︂ i should post my 3 questins in this one post in several new post? 1.︃ Experiences and Info concerning bank.pro 2. protection against identity theft and data crimes 3. monitoring︄ oneself on the dark net services --- should i?

Hey,

Try applying to the Pacific Private Bank.

I am partnered with⁠ this bank, so I am sure they accept fx/gambling. 😉
