If your friend is Indian, then tell him to try a Luxembourg bank as most of them seem to cater to Indians and their needs.
Most people think it's trendy and boast Cayman islands for offshore accounts. Yes if you are a drug dealer  , but I prefer putting mine in BMI in Seychelles.  |
Problem with luxembourg banks is the wire transfer costs. Some of them want like $80 for an incoming wire, so if you are an affiliate and pushing several small programs getting $500 payments then an $80 fee per wire hitting the account is a bit high.
