Just tell them you need the code for PayPal. They know the drill.

Yes i think that person died.
Anyway you can easily open a account but you usually have to go into a us bank to do it. A lot of trinis use wells Fargo.
You can wire transfer from your local account to your us account. Or receive payments on your us account and withdraw locally with a PayPal account that's linked to a local bank account

And that has to be a US utility bill I assume? I can't see a US bank taking your Flow or TTEC bill...ABA Trading LTD wrote:No you have to go to the USA to open an account. If you know someone in the bank you may be able to fax them the info tho. Passport page and utility bill

What are people's thoughts on the best options for doing this today. Seems Republic VTM card is a lot more problematic to acquire today and I'm not sure if it was intended or supported for this purpose (At least that is what people in RBL tell me)
My questions:
1. Is RBL VTM still the best option for this and if so, is it actually supported by RBL? Who do you speak to in there that understands the situation or what exactly do you tell them?
2. If not, what are other good alternatives? Have folks had good experiences with payoneer?
3. Are there any risks with using a US Account? E.g. if there is income > 5000 USD every month. Would this raise issues with the bank or otherwise?

yes they do, it is called a VTM card. It's a VISA debit card. And initially you only needed to pay for it at Republic Bank. But now, due to new money laundering laws, you must show a source of income, utility bills etc before applying for it.EFFECTIC DESIGNS wrote:Anybody knows if you can get some sort of card to pay for stuff online without requiring a Job Letter?
Why don't they have something like a credit card but pre paid where you have to add funds to it from your bank account online and just shop with it like normal?

They do:
- FCB does (i have...)

These ent credit cards per se, but yuh can load up on time and use at any Visa/Mastercard location.
