No they do not. I have purchase debit cards from them in the past and visited them. They are straight shooters

I am not sure you have researched well enough - they clearly state they are an affiliate of Soverreign Management & Legal S.A on the Scibank website (
http://www.scibank.com/offshoreservices.html).
This fact notwithstanding, they also state they have a "
full unrestricted banking license" on their site (
http://www.scibank.com/aboutus_summary.html) - not sure they still rank as "smelly" then.....
SM&L do however offer a bank account in Montenegro as well as Panama with their IBC set up package. The explanation they gave me for the former option is a matter of time - it takes 1 week to get the Montenegro setup, while it takes up to a month to get a Panama account ready...this seems to large a coincidence if they are not somehow connected to Scibank!
I have been talking with SM&L for two weeks now, discussing various custom additions to their Foundation/IBC package. They seem legit, but how do you ever really know? I have also spoken to
Panama Law, and while they are more matter-of-fact, I just felt more comfortable with SM&L. That said, if you review both firm's summaries of for example the
Reforestation Investment projects in Panama,
Panama Law is clearly the review one would feel is less embellished.....they almost imply it is not an investment at all!
I am about to commit to the Foundation/IBC unmanaged package so I will post my experience here later!
