Have a look at the many alternatives you can find here List of Banks, EMI's, Payment processors and BTC to FIAT institutions. as well as Google OffshoreCorpTalk for Georgia and Armenia banking, we have a lot of good information around here about all of them.Really?
Any alternative?
You are right that AgriBank is one of the few taking new Malta companies, I also know that from two sources. The problem is they are very slow and don't have SEPA. Perhaps not the best bank to deal with if you do a lot of day to day transactions. I have pretty well aged company (almost 10 years) and BNF for instance asked me to fill in a questionnaire but they never got back to me. Lombard Bank has never replied to me on my enquiry sent their International Banking Unit. MeDirect says they can open provided there is a local substance - office.
Banking in Malta has become extremely challenging.
With whom did you meet?- Satabank - Actually they can open for corporate, but there is limitatiton ( 5K / month IN/OUT TRAFFIC)
Hello
I just came back from Malta, and i have been tried to open corporate account. My secretary makes a phone call for all!! Maltese banks. My company is "one man show" LTD where i'm the owner ,sh without any nominee or fid service, but i don't have any visa over there even i'm EU residence.
See the result:
- Agribank - doesn't open
- APS - In progress ( they took all necessary documents and 100EUR and needed to fill two forms electronically) don't have result yet
- BNF - not open at the moment
- BOV - Just if you are residence
- IIG - NOPE
- Medirect - NOPE
- FIM Bank - They communicate just online ( since 3 weeks we are waiting for their reply, so not declined yet)
- HSBC - Strange, while after the first online form they sent decline message, after i receive welcome message and other form. As i heard the can open if the company CEO, or SH have Malta residence
- Satabank - Actually they can open for corporate, but there is limitatiton ( 5K / month IN/OUT TRAFFIC)
So what banking solution did you find for your Malta business? I'm interesting to learn about new banks willing to take on foreign business.Hello
