The fastest offshore bank account opening possible where?

[happyjohn]

I was wondering what bank is the fastest to open a bank account with. It has to be an offshore bank with not too high fees and Internet banking. Is it true that when some Company advertise it can be done within 1 day? I have seen people complain when it takes more than 3 days, business days!


Do you know of any sudden offshore bank, then please post here asap. It has to be fast.

Sorry for the delay. Well, with some of the Cyprus banks it's pretty fast to get an approval and conditional allocation letter within hours or maybe a day or so. With most of the other offshore banks you will have to wait at least a few days to get the account opening ready.

Ahh, Cyprus within hours.. how is that possible? is the account opening guaranteed once paid the setup fee?

 

[JohnLocke]

No guarantees sonofgod, sorry. Everything is dependent on the banks final decission and they DD / KYC policy.

No guarantess is okay, what if the bank account get's declined? Will you apply for another account with another bank? Is Cyprus the only offshore banking Island where we can bank anonymous?

I would like to know that too.. what will happen with the fee we paid to open the bank account if we don't get approved? how many banks will you try to open an account with?

St. Vincent has some good level of privacy too same for Mauritius and Anguilla Bank. It just take some more time to open accounts there also it is more complicated because they from time to time are requireiing insane documents and ask insane questions about business model, activity and so on.

You defiantly want to go with one of the Cyprus banks they are the fastest to open bank accounts with if you have the right connections.

Personally I would look for a trusted and reliable bank rather than something quick to open an offshore account with! If you like your hard earned money it you need to pay attention!

A few days is more realistic if you are doing it remotely, but that is still pretty fast. If you need something really quickly and you can show up personally, then you do have some eastern European alternatives that are pretty good.

 

[ImKing]

Can you explain more about Eastern Europe? Where is that and what is the grade of privacy?

 

[JohnLocke]

Most roparly people are opening bank accoutns in Latvia, Cyprus and Ukraine if they look this direction.

I found the following banks in the following countries to be very fast:


- Panama


- Cyprus


- St.Vincent


- Mauritius


In average it took me aprox 2 weeks to get the bank account opened and another 5 - 7 days (depending on where the parcel comes from) to receive my PIN's, tokens and all this stuff, and yes, my Debit Cards I'm the happy owner of 7 Visa and MasterCard debit Cards at the moment.
