Bankers Trust by estella

Does anyone have any experience with this company they would like to share? It is located in the Infinity Blu condo/commerical complex in Sosua. However, it seemed rather deserted there when I stopped by.

Well, I'm not going to waste any more time and money on a lawyer. Can you give me contact information for ProConsumidor (preferable an email address)? Banker Trust should not be allowed to continue to scam people! I have saved lots of emails to ... Read More

The person in the DR who was "checking the validity of my passport" turned out to be a scam also. First I sent money to her for the lawyer; then something else (and more money) was required. I quit at that point. Update on the passport I ... Read More

Steve, if your wife isn't coming with you to Panama, I think it's a wise decision to leave your little doggie with her in Canada. Not that there is "rougher life" for your doggie in Panama, but depending on where you settle, the ... Read More

Changing banks in Panamá by Do65

Hello all I thought I found a good bank which is the Credicorp bank but that was a very wrong thought. It's reliable yes and they won't steal yr money but the service is terrible and since I am having a house built and the money transfers ...

Banvivienda is not ignoring the "US demands." As I said, I am no longer a US citizen. For US citizens, they would "obey the letter of the law" of Big Brother and the US that wants to control the world. Banco Nacional just has ... Read More

I had an account at Credicorp for a long time. The service was horrible. I recently closed the Credicorp account and I now have an account with Banvivienda and I love them. My Banvivienda branch account is in Concepcion and the manager speaks ... Read More

Bless you for your rescue work. Another poster gave explicit information about bringing a pet (or pets) to Panama. When I moved to Panama (Volcan) in 2004 I did not have a pet at the time and I thought I didn't even LIKE dogs. (I had formerly ... Read More

If I was scammed, it could very well be jail time (and disbarment) for those who did the scamming. Read More

I have someone in the DR checking the validity of my cedula and passport obtained via Banker Trust. For now, neither one is registered with the government. The lawyer will check further with immigration. Stay tuned. Read More

Did you also receive your Certificate of Naturalization? If you didn't, your "passport" is likely fraudulent. I, too, got a passport through them but never received the Certificate of Naturalization, despite numerous requests for ... Read More

Looking for a reliable lawyer for Cedula/citizenship by Michael_D

Hi everyone! I'm trying to find a lawyer that can help me through the process of getting the cedula and eventually after some years the citizenship. I have been reading a lot about this topic, and it seems realistic. I am currently working in ...

I have recommended Jeronimo Finestra many times. He did a great job for me about four years ago, and he even said I was his "first client. " At this point, though, I retract my recommendation for Jeronimo Finestra. He doesn't answer ... Read More
