    Subject: RE: [roatan] Bank Account in Roatan


    Hi Chris,

    Once you have residency, all banks will allow you to open an account. If
    you don't have residency, you might try Banco Futuro.

    Last time I opened an account, there was a $500 minimum initial deposit for
    a dollar account and a 1,000 lps. deposit for a lempira account ($60).

    Personally, I've always liked some of the people at Banco Atlantida in
    French Harbour, but the lines can be brutal. Once again, I would recommend
    Futuro for that reason and the people there are also nice. The downside to
    them is they are located only in French Harbour and that can be a drive from
    West End.

    There is also an off-shore bank on Roatan that is affiliated with a bank in
    the US. They've told me that they don't advertise their services and only
    take referrals from existing customers at this point, but if you think that
    would be a good fit, contact me off list.

    Best regards,
    Steve
