Opening a Bank Account as a Foreigner

9 years ago
Hello.

We are Canadian living in St Lucia. We want to open a bank account (or three) and have stood in line for hours, was asked a myriad of questions and asked for much paperwork then told that there was an approval process. It's been about 5 weeks and haven't yet been approved. Anyone know a banker that would make an appointment for us and approve us within a week. There is good potential as we own a triplex here outright with rental income and we have 4 pensions between the two of us. Also, we will be moving most of our Canadian assets here in time.
