They don't if its value is less than $250,000.

Here we go, usual times are tough blame the white foreigner. Get over it you have had many many years since independence to do your own thing. And it was the predominantly black PLP that has driven this country into Banana republic debt.

If a bank decides to change its operating profile , so be it but to closes these accounts when so many never received the KYC notification and then for the customer to struggle to get their money out is downright wrong. Close the accounts after giving notice to the customer and transfer their money to the customers account of choosing. As for communications trust me they can find you if you owe them money.

If you read any UK tabloid you would be amazed at how many Trump supporters and others seem to think that eliminating Kim would be easy, surgical and over in a day or two whilst completely ignoring the fact that N. Korea would inflict terrible damage to S Korea with just their conventional weapons. Both sides are acting like schoolboys egging each other on yet not wanting to start the fight. Has nothing been learn't from Vietnam, Afganistan ?. Should the unthinkable happens then the Bahamas would suffer as would most countries. World war 3 could be started so easily.

RBC is a disgrace the way they are closing foreign homeowners accounts without notice. Furthermore I know Bahamians that are closing RBC accounts because of the nonsensical charges. Good riddance.

Try ZNS which when advertising various promotions, still sirs them even after the event is closed or over ?????

Interesting that when we have hurricane free years that we never hear from the these insurers, and generously reducing premiums. I can't afford it at present rates and could replace my roof for one years premium so save the cash and do it yourself.

Madhatter , appropriately named for exaggerating the facts. On Eleuthera , winter residents contribute a huge amount to the economy, employing, gardeners, maids, builders, mechanics, plumbers and so on. If they left as you say then the economy would be worse than ever.I do agree that there need to be a tightening up of rental units/houses as this is not a level playing field when you compare the overheads and legal hoops a legit hotel has to abide by. Your paranoid xenophobia is just what we need to further isolate this country and if you get rid of all the leeching foreigners then who will employ all the labour and better still pay. A friend of mine in business prefers the foreigners because they pay.I guess you also object to the millions donated by foreigners and companies and the volunteer work done, but who am I to say ?

So I cash a cheque at the RBC bank using a cheque issued by a customer of that bank. I am charged $16 for the privilege of passing that money across the counter. Daylight robbery. As for reducing long lines Mr Benneby, get on a plane to the USA or UK and see how fast tellers there deal with customers wheras here its like watching the dead perform.

I personally know of a winter resident who has a home here who had his account closed-no notification , was received. Its a bloody disgrace. If you owed them they sure as hell would find your address/ Just think of the free money the bank is using whilst they deal with this. It seems there is a determined effort on the part of many including banks to destroy this country. Congratulations you are succeeding.
