Bank in Europe where to open account quick for offshore?

it might be a challenge to open EU bank account for Seychelles nowadays
it seems to me, that you have only few options
try banks in Cyprus or some EMI (Mistertango, Leupay)
Paysera do not accept Seychelles anymore

do they accept any EU bank? last time Rietumu told me that it might be bank in OECD-member country and Cyprus is not among them according to wikipedia
OECD - Wikipedia

about month ago we have transfered money of our clients from Rietumu within small EMI with UK IBAN, but I am not sure that it works today
 
Is MisterTango legit? The site seems extremely unprofessional.
I registered there, but the site is screaming "We will freeze your money and take it". It is done very low quality, half of stuff is in Lithuanian.
LeuPay requires Certificate of Incumbency and that will take too long of a time to acquire.

Which EMI did you use in UK?


What about ADVCash?
 
Why are you recommending this? Are you oblivious to fact that offshore company accounts are forbidden in Latvia now?
it looks like he has no idea what is going around

you may try 1) any bank in Cyprus (RCB, Bank of Cyprus, Hellenic etc.)
2) EMI with EU IBAN (Leupay, Mistertango)

also, I have heared that situation in Cyprus became similar to Latvia, but have no official confirmation about it yet
last week rumor has it, that Cyprus Central Bank established new regulations about offshore banking in Cyprus

BUT
manager in Rietumu has told me, that it is only one possible way to withdraw funds - bank account on the same name in EU and OECD country

P.S. thats all only my opinion based on information I have from Rietumu staff and my clients' experience
 
Is MisterTango legit? It looks super shady and the site is very low quality. They look like they are about to steal your money at any point.

I know many people from that forum use Mistertango without problems, but I have no personal experience
also, it supports only SEPA as I know (SWIFTs are not availible for now)

but Rietumu is a very fradulent institution
for sure, they may make up some fictional arguments not to send money to your new account

do not need to worry about Mistertango, you need to worry about Rietumu :)

but also, it's not common to receive more then few thousands to EMI account

Law requires them to send out the money, so if they don't do it, I can simply put FKTK in CC and they will change their tone real quick.

Well, what other options do we have? RB can just send whole amount, they don't split it.
 
I have provided them an EU account on the name of the company BUT they DID NOT transfer the funds.
Asking for an EU account is just buying time.
One moment they have asked me to agree with the following application:
