    NatWest Important. You need to complete your review of 'My Business Profile'

    Yes, very low risk. All transfers from reputable well know institutions. No cash transaction whatsoever. So i guess I need to keep praying until i get the chance to buy out the parent company.

    NatWest Important. You need to complete your review of 'My Business Profile'

    No the EMI does not know, it's the same situation as this. I will try to avoid letting them know or else i will face closure again. I've worked too hard to have all those doors shut and all my work goes down the drain. I have an agreement with the owners to buy the company off them after they've...

    NatWest Important. You need to complete your review of 'My Business Profile'

    It looks like i need to start making changes to where our customers pay us. We have an EMI that we work with currently. I guess we should move all the money we have with Natwest into the EMI account. If the account has no more money in it, what would the most they can do after I update the...

    NatWest Important. You need to complete your review of 'My Business Profile'

    Hi Martin. Thank you for your reply. We've been banking with them for over 2 years and the change in ownership happened around 18 months ago. It did not even cross my mind to inform them about the change since the business was beginning to take off and I was immersed into the sales aspect of it...

    Life in UAE advantages & disadvantages

    Yeah, in summer it is hot but the malls are not the usual malls you know. They are mini cities, with everything you can imagine in them, even a mini ski resort. So you will have plenty to do indoors.

    Banking UK LTD Startup Difficulties and Shock

    It is true, what you said about TransferWise. They don't allow pharmaceutical sales, which is not us. They asked and I answered that we do not. I am trying, as you suggested above to start with EMIs and then I will go to one of the MENA banks in UK (after covid restrictions ease), cause I need...

    Banking UK LTD Startup Difficulties and Shock

    What would constitute a suspicious transaction? If it is a payment against an invoice with shipping documents, both available to be presented, to a non sanctioned country, what would be the problem?

    Banking UK LTD Startup Difficulties and Shock

    Yea, I mentioned UAE on the phone when they asked me about the countries for incoming and outgoing transfers. I asked if there are any limitations on the countries for transfers and they said no, only limits are sanctioned countries (Iran, North Korea..)

    Banking UK LTD Startup Difficulties and Shock

    I just got rejected by NatWest! I don't know and they don't let you know what the "criteria" is! This is grossly ambiguous! All their questions were answered and they did not require any additional information and/or clarifications.

    I can avoid it and use Euros instead. Except for Chinese manufacturers, they require USD! Not sure if they are flexible on this point.

    Thank you. I will check them out. It seems like International/MENA banks seem to be the way to go. UK banks seem useless.
