Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Fast International Transfers. Fast processing of international transfers (SWIFT, SEPA, etc.) with minimal delays

Cons

  • High Card Issuance/Delivery Fees. Expensive fees for physical card issuance or delivery (especially international)

  • Strict Source of Funds (SoF) Verification. Paranoid compliance — the bank frequently blocks transfers and requests a mountain of documents to verify the source of funds

  • No Remote Onboarding. Inability to open an account remotely, requiring mandatory personal presence at a bank branch

  • Low Interest Rates on Deposits. Extremely low, near-zero interest rates on deposits and savings accounts

  • Strict Account Minimums. Requirement to maintain a high minimum account balance to avoid penalties or fees

  • Strict Crypto Restrictions. Strict policy regarding cryptocurrencies: account freezes for transactions related to crypto or P2P
