Our company specialises in opening accounts with ABLV Bank for legal entities and individuals, as well as connecting internet acquiring to merchant accounts of this financial institution. ABLV Bank is located in Latvia. This country is a member of the European Union, so deposits are guaranteed by the state. As in many European countries, the economy of the Republic of Latvia is currently in a state of recession. However, the economic difficulties in the region have not led to the degradation of the banking system. On the contrary, the lack of domestic clients has prompted Latvian banks to focus on foreign clients, attracting them with a large number of options, high quality of service and exceptional flexibility in opening accounts. One such bank is ABLV. Our company offers you to open a multicurrency account with ABLV Bank.

ABLV Bank was founded in 1993 and was called “Aizkraukles banka” (Aizkraukle Bank). Already at the beginning of its activity, it carried out large-scale work on servicing foreign clients. The bank became one of the first Latvian banks to implement Internet banking systems. Since 2011, it has changed its name to ABLV and has successfully mastered the field of lending and investment management. Today ABLV Bank is a member of the Association of Latvian Commercial Banks and is the largest among independent private banks in Latvia.
