As long as I only look at a simple bank account to receive and send moeny by Wire Transfer or IBAN transfer I only need to provide valid passport and utility bill right?

Yes correct. Only thing required to open a bank account offshore or in Cyprus is a valid passport copy and utility bill, that apply for the majority of the banks, there are exceptions.

Great, what other documents could the offshore bank ask for? Just curious ?

Bankers reference letter would be an additional document that some offshore banks are asking for.

We had to provide notarized copy of passport in order to get the account opened with Barclays in the Seychelles.

It's gonna be tough to pull off. Let us know if you figure it out! I'm sure there are some interested parties around here.

Who are all the providers of offshore merchant accounts if it's not possible to get such offshore? What exactly differs from a bank account and merchant account both offshore? I don't really find what's this and that, sorry?

I would like to know if it is possible to open a offshore bank account and merchant account with one and the same bank?? for banking I just need simple Internet banking and USD account, for merchant account I need to accept VISA and MasterCard + ACH checks if possible.
Any input please??

It's not possible, that simple! All banks have their banking and acquiring bankin split into two or more divisions or even companies.
