If what you say about the banking is true that's amazing.Asked this question in every bank of Paraguay when I was searching for an easy way to open a bank account with an international debit card. All banks answered me with "it's an internal decision of the bank". Even the god damn government-owned bank BNF says the same. I tried to read some laws and resolutions which regulates bank system in Paraguay and I can't find anything about why the bank system smells a s**t. I guess USA just fucks them deeply, so they don't dare to ease the requirements. Also Paraguayan banks have their US dollar accounts through City bank or JP Morgan. Paraguay don't have a bank with direct access to dollars. So when people send dollars from Europe to Paraguay, first they send it to JP Morgan who then resends to Paraguayan Bank like Atlas. Maybe this is the problem.
Nope, you need to get a CPF. And that stuff you can get it online without being a resident in Brazil. Some people I know already get it. And with CPF you can open an bank account in Brazil or a crypto.com card. It's some kind of a hole in the rules.
True story. Many try to sale, but in reality citizenship is easy on paper, but not in de facto.
I will look into it further.
I haven't heard people in the crypto community here mention it. The recent closure of he Dukascopy cards has messed up a lot of paraguayan crypto investigation es as that was the main overseas bank they had access to.
