Got an invitation to open an account with nibank.com. So I was wondering if anyone know or had any experience with this bank before.
Any input would be appreciated!

More or less.How did you get the invitation? Was that an unsolicited one?
Good to hear that they didn’t buy an emails database.More or less.
I was attending an event and chatted with a couple of people who were working there, one of them said that she will send me an email regarding their offers and bla bla bla, but I thought nothing of it, until I received an email from them a couple of days ago, so I thought I would ask here if anyone used them.
Exactly....that bank is actually acting as one of the correspondent banks of a venezuelan state owned bank called "Banco del Tesoro" and they even have a representative office in Caracas. Lol they even received a "merry Christmas tweet" from Banco del Tesoro saying something like "merry Christmas to all our correspondent banks"AFAIK, they are Venezuelan so I'd stay away for that reason alone. Not because Venezuelans are bad people but because of the looming threat of sanctions and other problems due to Venezuela's current political status. If the bank is used to dodge Venezuelan sanctions you could get swept into that mess (long delays getting money out) if the bank gets targeted and shut down.
most of the carribean banks are nothing without their correspondent banks, one of the people who worked with citi and SC told me that big players treat these so called "banks" as private funds of some sorts. and it makes sense.Good to hear that they didn’t buy an emails database.
I wonder how an Antiguan bank can survive these days
Damn, How did you got to know them? was it via introducer? or did you just try your luck? what was your line of business?they are a scam, i lost with them 70k , fisrt i could not transfer the funds out and after. the manager trasfer to his own account good luck wiith them
Yeah, that's a hard pass from me. nothing against Venezuelans (or cubans or anyone really) but it doesn't makes sense to mix my self with the type of clientle that this banks is trying to serve. People who are avoiding Sanctions? too much for my risk apetiteAFAIK, they are Venezuelan so I'd stay away for that reason alone.

That's what caught my attention at first, I thought that at the very least, there are vetting process that these clubs have to do before accepting any sponsors, So, the bank has to be somewhat legit. But I guess I was wrong.The funny thing is that actually the bank is being promoted by a major Spanish football team (Atlético de Madrid)
