This Application is Extortion, according to Section 183 of Latvian Criminal Law

Good, let us know how it goes. Keep us updated. We need to wreck this s**t institution.
I highly recommend to follow this advise. After informing about my intention to prepare complaints for these commissions Rietumu came very active. I got my money out in 2 days
I did the same. However, I got this message 3 days ago and money still stuck.
Please kindly be informed that Your request has been submitted to the responsible department for further consideration and response preparation. Please kindly note that the Bank gives a written reply to the complaints within 30 (Thirty) days from the day of it's receipt.
This is just ridiculous, I have had the same issue. Literally zero notice. I had the account frozen and took over 2 months to be able to gather all the documents the bank wanted. By then the bank took the liberty to charge €500 penalty for late submission of evidence they wanted and eventually even with all the documentation they asked for being sufficient the bak said that they still cannot maintain accounts for offshore companies. Then they charged another €2500 to release the funds, so that's a total of €3000 just to get my own money back from them! This is a total fraud and this bank should be investigated and shut down. Also, I still have not received the funds that were in my account.
Here is a list of OECD member countries. There ae 35 in total:

Rietumu Bank Completing the Termination of Cooperation with High-Risk Companies
18.06.2018
Rietumu Bank plans to conclude the termination of the cooperation with more than 90% of companies classified as a high risk customers by the end of summer. The progress made by the bank in this area has received positive evaluation of Latvian financial industry oversight bodies, as well as international partners.
Rietumu Banka made the decision to terminate co-operation with 4,000 high-risk companies in March.
All these former customers had to fulfil strict compliance procedures, confirming the legal nature of the origin of funds. Currently, already 80% of these former customers have completed the compliance process and in most cases had left the bank. Most of other customers are expected to complete the compliance procedures in July.
“The re-evaluation of our client risk profile in such a short period of time is a process of considerable volume and effort – both for the bank and the customers. It brings substantial changes to our client relationship portfolio,” says Rolf Fuls, Chairman of the Board of Rietumu. “Today, like never before, we need to focus on new directions of business. We, at Rietumu Bank, thanks to timely decisions, are focusing on the transformation of our business, opening accounts and servicing new customers”.
The progress of Rietumu has been noted by Marshall Billingslea, the Assistant Secretary of the United States Department of the Treasury, who visited Latvia in early June. M. Billingslea positively evaluated the serious approach and progress of Rietumu in implementing the business transformation of the bank. The same evaluation was also supported by Dana Reizniece Ozola, the Minister of Finance of the Republic of Latvia, who noted that “this is a positive example that confirms: if you want to change, you will be able to do it”.
As reported earlier, Rietumu has completed the first quarter of 2018 with EUR 15.7 million in net profit, which slightly exceeds the result of the same period last year. In terms of profit, Rietumu ranks second among the 18 commercial banks of Latvia.
Rietumu continues to provide all necessary information and support to customers that are currently undergoing the compliance procedures. Considering that many of these companies have started their operations in the previous years, when the requirements of the law differed significantly, some of them require a longer period of time to prepare the required documentation. Therefore, the bank uses a flexible approach within the permitted legal framework, taking into consideration the specific nature and history of each individual customer.

Hopefully that means they are going to pay out in July to those who completed the "compliance process"
