Seems they are to complicated to get a bank account opened with. I read they required something like USD 50,000 for personal and USD 250,000 for corporate accounts!! Who want to give a new bank in the Seychelles so much money!

It's an deposit not a fee! That said it's all about trust and if you want to put such amounts into 1 bank. In the past where this wasn't a requirement we had a lot of people open accounts with them and most have been happy with it and even today holds accounts there.

and I found a commercial from Nouvobanq in the Seychelles, they seems to be a small bank.

Maybe they are easy to apply with and have less requriements compared to Barclays and others there.

It's not a bank for regular business, they want investments with big sums, they don't touch all the small businesses who come with their hard earned money in small figures. For aprox 5 years ago it was different, they took all what they could and later on they kicked them out.
