What has your experience been with them please? How easy/difficult do they make it to wire transfer funds out of one's account? What's their customer service like? Is their internet banking of a high standard? Is there a reason you have stuck to only amounts below €5k? Thanks a million...

As Malta is part of the EU, wouldn't deposits be covered by the EU-wide deposit protection scheme, covering sums up to €100.000 ( http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_MEMO-14-296_en.htm?locale=en )? Also does anybody have answers to my questions above please about BOV? Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback. Why would you say they are a good bank to work with please? What's your experience been like? How easy/difficult do they make it to transfer one's money out via wire? I'm a bit concerned about the other folk about saying they are not like a real bank!! Doesn't really...

Has anybody had an experience of using RCB in Cyprus ( http://www.rcbcy.com ), particularly in regards to a personal current bank account? What has their customer service been like? Do they make it awkward to set-up outbound wire transfers? How good is their internet banking? Thanks!

Bank of Cyprus (both the Cypriot and UK wings) in my experience have been absolutely terrible. They didn't even acknowledge my application and I had to chase them up several times. They never bothered to return calls or respond to emails. I wouldn't trust my money with a bank that is difficult...

Bank of Valletta ( More... ) is a Maltese bank and financial services company. They say they welcome international clients. My experience of them is that they come across as fairly professional but they seem a bit 'Mediterranean' in their practices e.g. my contact there finishes work at 2:30pm...

I've been investigating Loyal Bank in St. Vincent and the Grenadines in quite a lot of detail. They seem easier to work with than other banks, but, at the same time, rather amateurish in a variety of ways. Their website, for instance, looks awful. I'm wondering if anyone has had any...

Thanks for the feedback DeMajor. Please see my PM to you about the two banks. Let me know if I can help :) Where can I read the previous two topics about these banks please? I've tried to do a search, but it didn't work. RE: Hellenic Bank Cyprus, what documentation do they require to open...

It took two weeks from posting my documents to hearing back from them and getting provisionally accepted. They don't work quickly in that part of the world. As well as proof of ID and proof of address, they seem to be hung up on reference letters from banks in those neck of the woods. So you'd...

How would you rate Baltikums Bank in Latvia and RCB in Cyprus for personal / private international bank accounts? Are their online banking facilities any good in terms of being able to transfer funds abroad etc.? How fussy are they when it comes to allowing customers to transfer reasonably...

After being rejected by most international banks in Europe etc. I've applied to for an international personal bank account, I'm delighted to be accepted by AfrAsia and MCB banks (they have stated, though I'll have to wait for confirmation). They are both in Mauritius. It's not my ideal...

Terrific list. Thank you. CIM Banque in Switzerland have good customer service and been giving me positive vibes in terms of the opening of a personal bank account. I've now been through several hoops with them. However, now they are saying that they can only carry out their compliance...

Thanks very much for the replies! I appreciate the advice. I'm a property investor... buy and selling real estate (in the UK). I didn't want to go through all the hassle of setting up and managing a company (compiling and filing accounts every single year etc.) just to have a bank account...

I'm struggling to find banks that will accept customers from my country (Pakistan). I have a senior managerial job and earn a fairly high salary, and have all my KYC documents ready, but most banks don't want to know simply on the basis of my nationality. Are there any particular banks...
