you are totaly rigth Adam. Bankera smell very strange. I was contacting them and they reply me only first time. When i was asking for more details no more reply. I resend newly my request and no reply from 2 monts.Yes, I agree there is no point in this discussion any further as you simply won't bother to dig deeper in uderstanding what you are really selling, and once the Bankera goes under and people who followed your advice by engaging them will loose money or get in to tax compliance troubles you will say that this was totally unexpected and happened because of some unforeseen changes and they were compliant at the time blah blah..
For the record - as per all of the above I believe they are extremelly high risk EMI who most likelly does not adhere to local AML and least what can happen their clients (especialy those holding accounts with IBCs) will be bashed with unexpected DD requests regarding thei entities' tax residency.
But no worries for you, as you take your commission only for opening the account and what is going to happen to clients later it is not of your concern.
very dificult to be credible when you have economical interest in the matter. Better to wait for experience's customers. it' will be the best proof that they are interesting bank. Your insistence on defending them in exchange for commission is really stinky. There are too many people chastened in recent times by EMIs that has freezed funds and accounts and it is clear that what an EMI promises today with the help of its collaborators is dead paper tomorrow. So please try to be a little impartial and objective to be convincing.Of course they do. I know what tax-related questions they ask and what documents they ask to provide because I was/am involved in many onboardings of my clients.
Mr. Adam is just speculating about it and I am not sure what his agenda is.

I find it fantasticI can't give any insight into the company, but I have approached @Gediminas for assistance in opening an account. It can't be too stinky if the fee I paid him was to his Bankera account.
The guy in Support told me that Bankera uses the Pacific Private Bank (the one they acquired) for their Swift transations.
Also mentioned that Swift can't be used to send/receive money from crypto exchanges. For crypto, only SEPA must be used.
I see it's for EEA residents only. Are there any plans to issue cards for non-EEA residents?P.S. Since today personal account holders can order a debit card.

You seem to know way more than what the official representative tells me. Are you involved in Bankera?Yes, that's the plan.

The customer support specifically told me I can receive and send transactions with SWIFT, and that Bankera was using Pacific Private Bank for that. And also specifically told me to not make cryptocurrency transactions with Swift, and to only use SEPA for crypto.
It is a lot of specifications to be a simple misunderstanding.
Can you please answer the following questions @Gediminas ?
1) Do they open a business account for a Cyprus Limited which does forex/stocks/crypto trading?
2) Do they open a business account for a Belize Limited with nominee director which does forex/stocks/crypto trading?
Hey, happy new year!
Yes to both questions, but very case dependant.
I would ask for some specific details (documents are not needed) and then I would pre-approve it with the compliance. Once the pre-approval is done, we would start then onboarding and only then you would have to pay the application fee.
Happy new year, too!
I read this post from you:
Which other information do you need than those I wrote in my last post?
I honestly don't want to send you my passport
