I'll keep the bank's names/Country A to myself for the moment but I'll set out the circumstances. The first was a local business which has re branded and with whom I stopped banking when I went elsewhere (Bank 1), the next was the local brand of a multinational in Europe which despite going...

I won't name names in saying this but I had two relationships with the now very closed VersoBank. (Imagine a bank, if you will, where one of its own people was looking to establish a factory for docs to open accounts. I have not named names, nor have I suggested at which bank this was)...

If you can evidence your lawful presence in the UK/have a credit file footprint with one of the big three, you may be able to open a bank account in the UK. If not, you'll be able to use the UK entity to obtain an offshore bank. UK company acts as an agent. Very common. Leave at least 10-15%...

In "Country A", I had three accounts in this one jurisdiction and never needed to produce evidence of a domestic address in Country A for any of them. The multi-national banks and subsidiaries thereof all had policies in relation to crypto and the result was you could receive funds from major...

I'd call the slight lack of arable land in AK a "catch".

Hence my suggestion of NZ. It hasn't been run into the ground as yet, merely a case of finding the right staff and people who know the requirements (such as the need for a NZ or AU director).

More than one associate has retired to certain parts of the EU for not an immense capital outlay if all you seek are these sorts of requirements.

Cash or wire purchase/sales? I've put a good deal of crypto in and out of fiat in certain countries in the east of the EU with limited questions asked for cash and wire from the right local banks, who likewise don't ask many questions about cash deposits or withdrawing.

There is nothing to preclude you from asking a family member (cousin, wife, take your pick) to try the process, and act as an agent on your behalf.

You can contact Caye in Belize directly but will find their documentary requirements to be a bit of a pain compared to other banks catering to offshore. You're getting a less than optimal deal paying that amount to an introducer to do very little else than say "this person incorporated through...

And you labour under the assumption that someone with 10m in crypto couldn't afford to secure those staff? Your use of the term "control" suggests that you're in the east of Europe. If you kow what you're doing, and are properly versed in the ways of Australasia, its not hard.

Still a country with rather ineffective banking laws allowing one to set up in the jurisdiction as a quasi bank, provided you have the right staff on the ground.

Set up in New Zealand.

Spot on. Suggestions re jurisdiction/accountant on this very welcome.

More clients coming online in 2019 through the "master client" and they're at the £££ end of the market. Additionally, I would prefer to be doing business through a company with $100 capital from a cover backside perspective.
