Cheap bank account for SC

[Aley]

A lot of people suggest Seychelles companies, but getting a bank account for these is such a pain. Please suggest some good banks to open a current account. (no Cyprus)

What do you consider to be a pain? If not Cyprus, you may be able to open the account in Belize or Mauritius.

The benefit to use a Cyprus account is an additional layer of privacy!

High fees and complicated opening procedure

If not Cyprus, you may be able to open the account in Belize or Mauritius.

Belize has only shitty banks. Mauritius is the option, but I'd like more reputable jurisdiction

Have you looked at St. Vincent, Latvia and even Panama for account opening? Some here wrote that CIM bank in Switzerland open accounts just by Skype interview.

Cook Islands I have read is a great jurisdiction for registering a company but their banking sucks.
