Hamilton Reserve Bank (Nevis)


They only publish the AED Currency ones - most likely the only one looking serious and all other currencies through Financial Institutions or EMI's with FFC instructions.
 
It has been a fiasco trying to wire funds out of this Bank for months and then they presented a list of docs for their compliance to review as if we were opening the account al over again. I present them with documents then they return with more items to present. It is not a good look and now I've asked to close my account and they still have to review my file before sending out funds.

Is anyone else experiencing a similar situation? Has anyone complained to the regulator?
 
For about three months from January this year, USD remittances from Hamilton Reserve Bank were relatively smooth.
However, since April it seems to have stalled again. Finally, we got to a point where we kind of lost contact with our relationship manager.

We have received a purported threat from the Bank and their legal representatives. In alignment with our commitment to freedom of expression, we refuse to succumb to the demands of any legal team or a bank that believes it can dominate the global narrative. Consequently, we will disclose all developments related to this case in this thread.

This action serves as a cautionary tale about the mechanics of the system and stands as a testament to the principle that every individual possesses the inalienable right to speak freely without being subjugated by any institution, be it financial or legal. We champion the cause of unfettered freedom of speech for all.

Dear Mr. Larsson:

Per your illegal refusal to cooperate to simply take down the defamatory Manufactured Thread, and per your remarkable insistence that we instead do whatever we legally need to do to redress your illegal refusal to cooperate, per your request we have filed the lawsuit that you insisted we file. Attached is the summons and complaint in a lawsuit that has been filed against you, in New York State Supreme Court.

Please let me know if you will agree to accept service of process for all defendants in exchange for additional time to respond. Otherwise, we will serve all of you personally in the UK and seek to recover the fees for service, and we will not agree to provide any additional time to respond if you require such useless formality and costs.

If you cause the entire Manufactured Thread to be removed within 48 hours, and agree to take down any future defamatory posts regarding the Bank, we will agree to voluntarily drop the lawsuit. Otherwise, we will pursue the litigation vigorously.

I am available to testify on the bank’s (awful) behavior, well documented in writing (emails and registered correspondence from my lawyer), in case they want to file a complaint for defamation.
 
Thank you very much for your support. Should it become necessary, I will reach out to you. It is of crucial importance to the forum and our philosophy behind OffshoreCorpTalk that we preserve freedom of speech.
 
This is how Hamilton Reserve Bank invests its (clients’) money ($240m): https://casetext.com/case/hamilton-...-democratic-socialist-republic-of-sri-lanka-8
Sri Lankan bonds!
And we wonder why they don’t allow withdrawals rof/%

That speaks volumes of their judgement. But at least they didn't spend the 242m on buying an airport in Nigeria like this Brazilian bank did.

It might soon become necessary, they keep on pushing. We will publish it here once there are more details.

We are very impressed that a serious bank resorts to black hat methods to publish cheap articles on cheap domains to once again lie their way through the world.

Here is a little excerpt from what they write in their latest publication in their war against OCT:
However, upon closer inspection, it becomes evident that OffshoreCorpTalk does not hold any formal accreditation or regulation from any financial authorities. This means that the information shared on their platform may not always be accurate or trustworthy as anyone can post without any verification process.
Since when does a public forum need a financial license or be regulated eek¤%&

This really reminds me of the days iPayTotal and Panamalegal tried the same s**t show, it turned out they were major criminals and the latter's business no longer exists today.

Which bank would behave in such a way, I'm just asking?
