    Notary and apostille for foreign-owned US LLC

    No news so far. Getting the docs notarised and apostilled is expensive and time consuming so I just put the whole thing on pause until I find an easier solution. What @isyet suggested seemed promising but didn't work because the BOI I have is missing the mysterious validation link - I couldn't...

    Notary and apostille for foreign-owned US LLC

    No worries. Verifo onboarding team don't know how to verify the BOIR I sent them. As for the agent, they can do an apostille for $400 but can't help with notarization.

    Notary and apostille for foreign-owned US LLC

    I just tried. They are asking me how they can validate this report. It seems providing that link you mentioned is crucial. Would you mind telling me more about the link and how you got it? I filed BOI at https://www.fincen.gov/boi and the transcript was the only document given by fincen as...

    Notary and apostille for foreign-owned US LLC

    That's a great idea. I have a BOI filing transcript ("Beneficial Ownership Information Report (BOIR) Transcript") and it has "BOIR ID", "Submission Tracking ID", and "Reporting Company FinCEN ID", but I couldn't find any link. Could you share a publicly available link where I could enter the...

    Notary and apostille for foreign-owned US LLC

    I haven't asked but their website says it costs $400 for an apostille, and no mention of notarization. I thought I'd ask OCT community in case someone could suggest a lower cost option (or perhaps there are some magic words I could use to make Verifo accept another document that doesn't require...

    Notary and apostille for foreign-owned US LLC

    Thanks for the information. The price quoted on fiverr seems reasonable. I've sent out the emails to the notaries from PM and will keep you posted.

    Notary and apostille for foreign-owned US LLC

    I've signed up with Verifo and as part of their KYC process they are now asking me to provide with a notarised membership certificate for my Wyoming US LLC along with an apostille issued in the state of incorporation. Did anyone have experience getting their docs certified in WY USA from abroad...

    Interactive Brokers and EU sanctions

    Hi OCT community. I was unlucky enough to tell IBKR my primary citizenship was Russian when I opened a joint account with them in 2020. Ever since 2022 they kept imposing various restrictions following European sanctions against Russia/Belarus. I have a second citizenship, and I'm considering...

    Novel bank

    Not the OP but I also had a bad experience with Novel last year and wrote a trustpilot review. Novel then flagged it "because they don’t think it’s based on a genuine experience", so I had to email some proofs to trustpilot. In short, they lured me into purchasing their premium plan for $2k to...

One of many parameters we have to focus is an annual minimum transaction volume between CHF 5-10 Mio. (or counter-value), depending...

    Anybody opened an UAE bank account in 2021?

    If I remember correctly, they call you to confirm your delivery address. I think it could be anywhere in the UAE - doesn't have to be where you actually live. However, when the card gets delivered, the courier will validate your Emirates ID in person and ask for your signature (and potentially...

    Review of FlowBank, New Swiss Bank

    I assume this is based on your personal experience? How big was the "symbolic" amount? Did they force you to sell the stocks or did you transfer it to another broker?

    Epay.com to recieve fiat from Kraken

    Ok, I can see epay doesn't accept crypto deposits but the question raised by the OP is about them accepting fiat from Kraken - is that possible? As far as I know Kraken only allows fiat withdrawals to a bank account in your own name, so the question is - does epay provide you with a bank account...
