Wachovia owns First Union, yes. Not all the bank branches have undergone the official name change. At least not in the States.
Many of the banks they deal with are Russian based banks. This could be good or bad.
Some of the others are in the Caribbean. This could also be good or bad.
Depends on why you want to open a bank account in the first place. Tax Haven? Shelter money from spouse or business partner? Currency exchanges? Stocks and Bonds?
Depending on your reasons, will depend on which areas of the world you want to open an account(s) in.
All these guys are, are just an e-commerce solutions provider. They are basically brokers. This could be good or bad.
Do your homework. Call them. Ask questions. Do research on the banks they will set you up with. Are their fees competitive? How much experience in this area to their reps have?
All the work the broker does can be done by yourself with a lot less of a paper trail. If this is important.
Financial Institutions around the world will send you all kinds of literature on their services if you just take the time to contact them.
