Thank you, I did read those already, including the Mega-Thread about the AIB (where I got very, very lucky and avoided disaster). I did seem to miss Suzi's comment where she said they lost their corresponding bank. That's to bad, also not the first time. Will wait and see.

Hi, is anyone having problems with the Heritage International Bank currently? They are refusing to send a wire with my closing balance as I am trying to close my account. Something about "Problems after a system upgrade" :rolleyes: Been waiting for like 3-4 weeks now, responses are delayed...

yes, depends on the bank and location.

nothing is wrong with them if they fit your setup, they just don't fit mine.

Anyone got an idea what *good* bank accounts are possible for a Nevis IBC? Please no banks like Loyal, EPC, ... no European jurisdictions, visit can be required. (no US person involved, minimum Balance is fine) My idea goes into the direction of MCB in MU, Butterfield Group, HSBC, Barclays...

paypal (like for most i guess)

Just a warning in regards to real estate investments (if you will receive rental income). In lots of European countries rental income is taxed where the real estate is located. so even if you are living in France, the German RE will be taxed in Germany, ... how France handles it then, is a...

I'll be damned. So, I digged into the foreign registration thing, and it really is possible to do a 'foreign qualification' for an non-US entity. I looked at the official forms in Florida for registering a LLC and corporation http://form.sunbiz.org/pdf/cr2e027.pdf...

well, that phone session was fun :confused:

I will do some calls tomorrow. EPC is in the financial institution list. I looked at a few examples, and eg Banplus has an ABA/Routing Number, I could not find one for Multibanco. In the bank list, I guess they all have the routing numbers, lots of the names are familiar.

you are talking business account now, not private, or? private accounts are no problem whatsoever w/o ssn. are you aware if banks would open the account with a local underwriter also for offshore llcs? (that would work for me)

ok, so I have been talking to some consultants, and they are telling me the following: ... best way to proceed is to open the SOMEWHERE LLC and then foreign register that LLC in Florida. This will allow you to open a US bank account ... I researched the 'foreign qualification' and imo it's...

Hi, I am just wondering, are there banks in Puerto Rico, who open corporate bank accoutns for offshore LLC? Everywhere I look, its just the EuroPacificBank, but they are not really part of the US banking system. Neither do they have a ABA/Routing Number, nor are the FDIC insured. There are...

What limitations do you mean? (RAK Offshore) In regards to cost, it's not that bad. somewhere around 2k/year (+/- a few hundred depending on where you go). No annual reports need to be filed, accounts and company needs to be audited but only for the shareholder (so those cost are 'low'...
