Towerbank International in Panama?

[janissary]

Surprised that it hasn't featured here, but saw a lot of discussion on Twitter about Towerbank International in Panama for digital nomads and crypto individuals.

Anyone had experience with it?

Do you work or are related to them?

I wasn’t able to find any kind of discussion about this bank anywhere.

Opening the account is relatively easy compared to how account opening tends to be in Panama. They have improved the product since that earlier thread. It was initially limited to residents and rather low limits. I don't know any VIP clients with large turnover using the account, but from what I've heard it seems fine. It hasn't been quite the massive success they had hoped for, though.

No relation, just trying to find out whether it's any good.

I just spoke today with them, for 6 figures I would look for a better bank. This bank is thought for South American countries that need to move their savings to USD because inflation. They don’t offer any investment services, private banking or any kind of perks for high balance accounts.

Is it still a bank you would trust for larger sums and daily use for your business, or would you not recommend them for that kind of purpose?

I'm based in Panama. Some banks are still convenient and flexible for offshore banking, it depends on what bank you approach, honestly. That said, ever since the Panama Papers fiasco, the banking regulator has gone overboard with absurd requirements, fueled by the OECD and the EU's unrealistic compliance expectations. The matter should turn around soon enough.
