Bank account in Panama

12 years ago
Hi there,

I am in the process of becoming resident in Panama and therefore I am trying to open a bank account here.
So far I have given all the required papers to already six different banks in Panama City (banco general, lafise, allbank, multibank, banesco, banistmo) but they keep me waiting for an answer for more than a week now. Some of them haven*t even started to verify my documents yet.

I read in this forum that it depends on the branch you go to and that sometimes it is easier to open an account outside of Panama city.
Does anybody know a good branch in specific - no matter which bank -where I could go? In which city not too far from Panama City could I give it a try?

Thanks for any advice!!
