Unfortunately I didn't know anything about EuroPacific when I went there back in 2014, I needed a bank that allowed me to have multiple currencies and a brokerage account, at the time I was banking with
UBS and they didn't offer any of those two things. EuroPac was the
first bank I tried to open an account with and it worked perfectly for years, the
KYC was pretty standard and you were only allowed to transfer money to another
bank account under your name, so no third party wire transfers, and if the OCIF had not acted the way it did I would have carried on banking with EuroPac, and by the way, I had to submit a
CRS form as they reported those who had a brokerage account.
