FATCA is 100% bilateral.

See article 2 of the UK/US FATCA Agreement. it is the same for all other FATCA agreements.

if FATCA was working both ways than EU countries wouldn't have to bother getting US to sign up CRS

The US does not need to join CRS as they have FATCA which is very similiar. You do not need to enact two laws to do the same thing. US had created FATCA and implemented it before CRS. It should in fact be OECD and CRS implementing FATCA properly for its citizens instead of re-inventing the wheel.

Article 2

https://www.treasury.gov/resource-c...es/Documents/FATCA-Agreement-UK-9-12-2012.pdf

1. Subject to the provisions of Article 3, each Party shall obtain the information specified in paragraph 2 of this Article with respect to all Reportable Accounts and shall annually exchange this information with the other Party on an automatic basis pursuant to the provisions of Article 27 of the Convention.
 

Yes but this goes only for UK and Ireland did they sign this exact same agreement with all other countries in the EU?

It the same for EVERY fatca agreement. Read them and not some wiki page written by an 8 year old.
 
I think you will find that Nigerian banks have already implemented FATCA years ago. FATCA does not require an IGA with a government to exist. Any financial institution outside the US can register directly with the IRS and start reporting US persons.

You can check below if your financial institution is registered with FATCA. 64 Nigeria financial institutions already have.

EPB cards are Mastercards provided by the below company. You can use in most countries.

Payment Solutions | Prepaid Financial Services | PFS

Unless you want a card to withdraw cash from cash from an ATM or use in a store then I don't really see the point of a physical card. Most people use the cards for online services.
 
I believe that FATCA works both ways, all countries report to US about US citizens foreign account, and US report to all countries about non-US citizens accounts in US. I not sure about it, but it make sense this way.
I don't think that is true. US reports when requested, but not on their own. Can you link to law which says it is bilateral automatic exchange of information?


Ok, where is it is said WHAT kind of information is automatically provided? Names, account balances at end of year? What info is it?

Lets keep discussion in one thread. Discussion is in below thread. I believe you have now read the article by your response in the thread below and have your answer.

Do I understand that US financial institutions DO NOT report non-us person deposits in them?

You think they don't report you? I wouldn't trust that statement at all!
