How do we choose the banks we work with?

Delivery,  That’s the first thing that matters to us. Even though we are not the bank and cannot control its service, we want to make sure that our customers are also well served. So we constantly monitor relationships and ask for feedback from our customers. If one of our clients is not satisfied, we intervene directly with the bank or offer alternatives. That said, given our size and volumes, banks generally do their best to please OBI-C customers.

With our 12 years of experience in the field, we are able to select secure offshore banks, offering excellent services, as well as numerous banking facilities (e-banking, credit cards, letters of credit, etc.)
Moreover, other important characteristics are studied before selecting the offshore bank, such as

  • Political and economic stability of the country where the bank is located.

    Banking conditions (fees, minimum deposit, etc.).

  • Good reputation in the establishment.

  • Wide range of financial products offered.
