Seychelles Bank account for Seychelles IBC

[asterix]

Hi,

Can a Seychelles IBC get a business bank account from a local Seychelles bank (a real bank not an EMI)?

Forget about the Seychelles as banking jurisdiction. It's nothing than trouble I can tell you. It requires personal visit and a shitload of money and documents!

Thanks for your feedback. Personal visit I wouldn't mind though, Seychelles looks great after all. But then I don't have a shitload of money, lol.

You can try Al Salam Bank In Seychelles.

It was former BMI Bank I used to used before it lost correspondence accounts and got taken over . New owners seem credible i.e 70% owned by Al Salam Bank of Bahrain and 30% by Seychelles Pension Fund.

But you don't have a bank account there any longer @Martin Everson right? do you know if they require personal visit and large minimum deposit?

No account with them now. I don't think they would require a personal visit as application form talks of sending certified copies of documents. Also who is gonna travel to Seychelles to open an account .

See charges below under "Current Account" if you expand it. Minimum balance for offshore banking is $25,000 equivalent.
