Do you have any experience with ABC Banking? I have read the review here..

I can't answer for this user but for me it took damn 7 weeks! they were busy at the time of opening the account.
no unusual for a offshore bank to take that long all taking in consideration. It takes time to courier original docs to them if that was required.
 
They accept US citizens? sure... I consider to use one of these banks but afraid that they will request lots of documents before and after the account opening
 
For how long have you all been using ABC bank in Mauritius? I just curious because I consider to use them for my next company setup and business.

How is their Internet banking working, is it good you think or slow or anything bad or all good.
 
This thread will surely help those people who are gonna use this particular bank in the future! Thanks for the shared experiences and good piece of information here!
 
Hi I am new to the forum, but I bank with abc and have found them to be quite difficult and fussy to deal with, they are constantly asking for updates to buisiness plans and contact details and then failing to use any changes and it seems they question every payment into the account,and most out if over a certain amount!! It seems like you exist for their convinence and its an imposition on them to provide efficient banking services.Having said that e ery thing does seem to get sorted out in the end but its a lot of effort to get the simplest thing done!
 
It will depend on what you have told the bank the business activity is. I have hold an account with them for some time and they didn't asked me for additional information so far. I have received and withdrawed money frequently.
 
I have only read good reviews about this bank! But they require a reference letter from your current bank and they will go through all your incorporation & personal documents to check every details if it's OK!!
 
I can confirm Stephen's handling experience with ABC banking (Mauritius). Additional downside is the fact that they refuse payments from brokers or money transfer companies (you have to sign not to do this in the bank account opening formulars). Second they do not provide any term deposit or any other financial service for my account (in contrast to their website where they propagate a lot of services...), i.e the account is just a "box for the money". They propagate that incoming wires are free, which is theoretical correct, but in practice there is a correspondant bank in between which substracted 30€ from a 5k wire transfer. Outgoing transfers are with a 50€ fee, but not sure if additional the correspondant bank fee will apply. On the other side, there are no annual fees like other offshore banks take. As I have no comparison with other offshore banks I don't know if ABC banking is more top or down in the "ranking".

But they work as an regular bank and have only a small minimum deposit to be maintained! So for me it's a great bank with awesome possibilities to stay offshore!

It works fine for deposit of money (without any other typical banking service). Any transactions if incoming or outgoing are too expensive. The wire from Europe bank to ABC banking account is quite fast, it took only 2 days. In general I have confidence in this bank but only I'm disappointed about wiring fees, the lack of banking services (term deposit, investing) and the prohibition of wiring to broker's or money transfer companies.

Most people are disapointed with the fees offshore banks charge. I say, that if you are not satified with it then open an account with your local bank, there is a reason why people want to bank offshore
 
I don't care about the fee that a bank charge I do more care about how fast they receive International bank transfers and how fast they are send and received! The second thing I care about is how much privacy they provide and how they are handling my support questions.

If you need something for investments and to do some brokerage stuff you need to find another bank, that's good because it keep away all the trouble from this bank.

Where do you bank?
