What bank is best to open a offshore bank account with from the titled banks?


Ive been reading postive and bad things about both banks and confused. What I'm looking for is stability, USD and EUR accounts, Internet banking and I don't want to travel there!

From these banks I would defiantly go with a Hong Kong Bank account if it is possible to open it remote which I doubt it is, so I would consider to travel to HK and get your account there.


FBME bank is the most expensive bank in Cyprus / Tanzania and the debit card they have without the trailing log actually didn't worked for me as they claim it to be, but check this for yourself.


If you go for the FBME account be prepared for huge fees!

Who is able to help to open a FBME bank account in Tanzania?


Do they offer merchant account for payment processing too?

I already read the FBME banks tariff and they are too costly for day to day banking.
