st kitts new passport where to open account

i just got myu new passport fro st kitts and nevis , where can i open a bank accoont easly?
You can try EMI like Bankera, Verifo.
Banks can also open accounts but St Kitts is high risk jurisdiction, so you can exptect to be requested to put deposit of 1m$, for example in Switzerland or Singapore..
 
Congratulations!
Now be prepared for the question “sir, can you show you real passport?”
Seems very real to me. Could someone please share their experience after getting second passport? Was it useful (not regarding visa-free travel but regarding bank accounts/overall business matters)?

Bankers are monkeys but they know about CIPs. I am not aware of many natives of St. Kitts with light skin color and Beijing indicated as place of birth smi(&%
Anyway, what counts is your fiscal residence, not your citizenship. With a CIP passport you are only adding an unnecessary red flag to your profile.

Yep, in most cases it is dead obvious that the passport is a CIP one. Not sure if bankers would be really interested in pursuing "the birth place passport" thing. If they can satisfy their compliance requirements with a St. Kitts one, it may be enough for them. Or may be not sometimes :) First-hand experience anyone?

Whatever you do, don't use a Nevis or St. Kitts Bank. I have been trying to close my account and mover the money. They only allow a few thousand to move per month. The Bank regulators are useless to complain to, they will do nothing. I even had my attorney contact the Premier twice. That got me no where. If you ever want to have access to your funds again, don't bank there. I even had a conversation with a Holly Actor who put 5 million there. Same problem for him, no access to your own money.

Banking in the Caribbean is meanwhile such a pain that even Dutch and British Oversea Territory Passport Holder setting up with us.

Someone would have assumed that at least the local Banks for the born locals like Republic Bank are more transactional however that's not the case and they struggle almost the same way like foreigners.
