Are they any good ?

Any experience with this ? A good company to refer ?

Any country to refer ? I don't trust Latvia...

I was in Switzerland last month, they don't open bank account for offshore coutries any more.

Sure, its how anyone would open a bank account anyways - apply to an internet website

Seriously, what does this website company do? Access the bank online and fill in a new account application - that will be $750, thanks. That might be called "taking care of everything". Then client does the main work including photo ID's, "know-your-customer" information blah blah.

Are they any good? Not particularly. Company to refer? None, it's a lawyers job if it must be third party. Country? When we don't trust complete countries, it's going to be harder to trust any bank..

Opening a bank account for any person legitimately offshore is little different to opening any normal banking facility, tho OS banks are inclined to want to know more personal data to cover their ass.
