Hello,

I just got informed that Barclays in the Seychelles rised the minum balance for corporate bank accounts to USD 100,000 and personal accounts to USD 50,000 this is much more than what I have in my account on a annual basis

Can anyone please suggest a new offshore bank which don't have these insane minum deposit amounts?

Here is what I got from Barclays Bank in the Seychelles:

Well well.. when did they inform you about this? as far as I have been informed this bank does not have any foreign customers any longer since last year or the year beforeange¤%&
 
Must be very old information because I know I read for a few years ago long before I get into it that Barclays bank stopped accepting foreign clients and close all accounts.
