I've been scouting the forums for a while now and I have been trying to open a bank account for much longer. For whatever reason I cant get a bank reference. I have a local bank account but I need an offshore bank account so that I can pay myself my affiliate earnings. The local bank refuses to do anything involving the internet.
Anyway, since I have seen no list like this, I would like a list of banks that require no bank references. I don't care about privacy at all since I am not evading taxes.
I all ready paid a scammer on here $500 to open me a bank account and all he did was give me a link to Yesilada bank. I highly recommend that people who are thinking of using this bank reconsider. Half of the links on the banks website don't work. Even with this red flag I wasted the time and money to send them the documents they needed to open the bank account. Once the account was opened I contacted them asking for my account info including the swift code so that I could send myself money and they never got back to me after 2 weeks. (another red flag) I really don't trust them and they operate like a mickey mouse operation.
The only other legit bank I found was swissquote.ch I sent in my application, they then sent me a document request for source of funds, I sent it to them and never heard back.
What are the alternatives. The really sick thing is I am doing nothing dishonest here at all and this is quite frustrating.
Please no scammers asking me for a thousand dollars so they can email me a link.
I probably should not have muddied the water by even mentioning it. I don't want to reveal names as I don't want my account on here banned and it wasn't the intention of the post to start a war that I cant win since I am a new member.
As for lawyers or professional references. I relocated from Canada where I didn't interact with lawyers. I also moved a lot when I lived in Canada so I never dealt with the same accountant twice. Now I am in the caribbean and the only time I have dealt with a lawyer was for a work visa. There are no taxes here hence no need for an accountant.There is no way anyone knows me well enough to give me a reference. For work all I do is affiliate related and that doesn't require dealing with anyone like that.
Well, I don't know where my previous post went. It has disappeared but I did not delete it... strange.

See what you said right there is what I'm talking about. If I were you, I would explain that to my prospective banker and see what they say. I've had an offshore financial institution waive my reference requirement by explaining something similar. This is not always actually required, just something they like to have.

You will find the best banks do require a professional reference letter from a banker, lawyer or accountant.
Try www.rietumu.com, or Loyal Bank in St. Vincent's if privacy is not an issue as both do not require a reference letter (or at least they did not in the past).
Yea, in fact Loyal Bank now wants a bank reference letter, not a professional letter:
*Bank References for the Authorized Person and Authorised Persons (if any) as
well as for all Directors/Officers/Beneficial Owners.
They also require a business plan now, rather than just a business description. Wow, forget that.
And of course my least favorite part about this bank regarding banking secrecy:
2.2.3
The Bank had the right to cooperate with national and foreign authorities in information provision in cases where official investigation is being carried out on a client or there is official request for information with reference to an investigation.
No court order, no presentation of evidence, no requirement for a Financial Intelligence Unit to request information, Just, "Hello, this is the FBI and we are conducting an official investigation into XYZ Investments, please tell me the names and address of the beneficial owners."
No court order, no presentation of evidence, no requirement for a Financial Intelligence Unit to request information, Just, "Hello, this is the FBI and we are conducting an official investigation into XYZ Investments, please tell me the names and address of the beneficial owners."
They wouldn't do that though, the evidence would be illegally obtained and couldn't be used in court. Then any evidence they obtain from the original illegal evidence would become "fruit of the poisonous tree" and would also be excluded from use in trial.
The police need a court order to protect themselves and their case regardless of whether the bank will offer evidence without it.
