Mauritius banks - any experience?

[Butcher82]

Hi, I am considering opening a corporate account there.

Has anyone used any banks from Mauritius?

How long did your account opening take? How long did you wait for a card?

Are they slow to react to questions?

Do they receive and send funds from and to Europe fine?

Thanks for sharing any experience!

Better approach with agent / authorized representative.
Banks there are good themselves, but hard to reach.
Bank One Mauritius - we had horrible experience and wasted 3 month of time without even got reviewed.
Afrasia and Maubank may be an option - but high risk like crypto, forex other stuff - no no for banks there.
So it really depends on what you need and where are you registered / located.

Thanks for the info. How long did it take you to get an account?
I will be working through an agent.

With agent it can be like a month or less if you are understandable for their compliance

Cool, hope it works.
And how much did you pay your intermediary for account opening?
Just want to compare

You wash the money through an EMI before you send it their way
