Offshore bank account
 

Is there any company/bank account opening services you used in the past and were good ? I found a lot online but who knows if they will not simply run after my payment.
I'm looking to find reliable offshore services company.
Thanks !!

early bump :thumbsup

Any REAL bank (offshore) requires you at a minimum to physically go to their location and present ID, i.e.; a passport. If you are a US person or entity they may not want to do business because of the US FACTA laws and US Treasury Department AML regs (anti-money laundering)

thank you for the info but i'm not a US person (thank god...)

what ^^ said is correct.,

there are banks who will open your account using just documents , but do you really want to do business with thses people ?

You could email your documents to epassporte.com -- that worked out well ...

contact me on email, I can give you contact of my agent. I have 2 years company through them and they are reliable and not expensive as some agents are. I also got them through GFY member who uses them for years for companies and bank accounts.

Choice bank ltd, which is bank used by Payoneer (and Paxum) for cards, will open you bank account with email only correspondence.

Well, thing with banks is not really will they open you account through email or must be in person, but will they guarantee you that you have insurance if they go down. Which most of offshore banks don't, but if you use that account for business which will have couple thousands $ max on account, maybe you can take a risk, at least by my opinion. But for bigger money and real business, I would choose some bank with good backup.

Btw. if you are in Europe, you can open offshore accounts in Latvia, but need to go personally there in 1-3 months from account opening.

I've worked with offshore services companies throughout the years and know who is trustworthy. Our company has set up a lot of bank accounts without personal presence -- but some banks do require it, and it's always highly recommended.

ABLV Bank

The 1-3 months come back thing, what is that for?

What about a personal offshore account to verify PayPal and a debit card to withdraw to?

they will open account for you with online/telephone contact, but in some time you have to show up there personally so your account will be valid further. usually 3 months. even if your agent opens account for you.

plenty of banks require that. european and hongkong.

thanks , tell me more about this bank :pimp

thanks for your input.

Im not joking but i think HSBC used to do this you could walk in to a branch in Florida and they would setup an account in Dubai

Not any longer - HSBC got themselves into all sorts of trouble with practises like this.

Yeah but they compensate with awesome customer service:
