I have a partner that signed up for FBME but the bank wants an Apostilled passport and in the Ukraine I am told this is illegal -- the group I use in Belize would not notarize their documents and FBME did not accept the Ukrainian notar. They wish to therefore apply with USB' date=' however I want you to check their passport and make sure it is OK.[/quote']
Another fool WHO got bruned by FBME bank.. I would not ever consider this bank to be valid for my business!

UPS why did he ever signed up with FBME!! Fail Fail Fail.
They are a valid bank, problem is just they are strict and they have very high fees. The Internet banking is difficult to use. Their application process is a joke.Another fool WHO got bruned by FBME bank.. I would not ever consider this bank to be valid for my business!
I think they made lots of improvements to their banking systems. Yesetdray I visited one of my business partners who holds an account for a long time and told me already last year to go and open an account with FBME, I didn't managed to do so yet.. what I saw was actually perfectly fine. Great security double token device and PIN system.They are a valid bank, problem is just they are strict and they have very high fees. The Internet banking is difficult to use.

In worst case, can't your partner just visit the bank personally if it's that much of a problem?
There are lots of banks you could use instead, that are far less strict, easy to work with and allows for account opening with document scans only.

Personally I would simply register a new offshore company somewhere to get the incorporation documents notarized and apostilled' date=' that's pretty much standard for any bank to require that even though many offshore company formation service agents are announcing cheap incorporation because they don't deliver this and don't make the client aware of the importance of it.[/quote']
That's what I actually did and now everything is fine.
Would like to know what other banks are less strict? For me it seems most are the same in regards to documents requirements.In worst case, can't your partner just visit the bank personally if it's that much of a problem?
