I posted there indeed and after reminding the poster who offered bank names as you say it, he emailed me back. Basically he said he's offering help in establishing european bank accounts as as side-business (as it seemed to me) and he names one bank in the Czech Republic with full online banking, which he said would normally rather not accept international clients, but after being introduced by him, it probably would.
He also said he can help in establishing Austrian bank accounts for those who require bigger balances, without naming these banks though.
Personally I was not interested in a Czech bank account for sure at that time so I didn't really communicate with him further.

about one month ago, a GFY user "bigfire" from what i remember (but can be wrong) said that either Barclays or HBSC arent really friendly towards any online biz at all. It wouldnt surprise me if this was true.
it really seems to me that the banking world has changed really a lot and opening an offshore account seems harder each year.
It's not that you just apply for a personal account offshore, claim internet income and you'll get accepted ;-)
neither is spending a few $k on opening some corporation in Belize or Panama a guarantee that the serious banks in Europe will suddenly treat you better.
it can be quite hard to set-up such a simple offshore presence if you're not very big
anyway, question to the thread starter SpyCam, you complained that no one here names any names, but you didn't name your bank either.
You said you have already an offshore corporation and you have a european bank account for it but it doesnt work good for you. So what are the problems? And which bank are you using/where are you incorporated? Just curious
