The Kingdom Bank

Kingdom Bank

2.5/5 2.3/5 · Data verified on

The Kingdom Bank is an offshore EMI with global availability, support for both crypto and fiat and a dedicated account manager. It is, however, weighed down by the absence of a clearly declared license, high fees, a lengthy KYC and no verifiable Trustpilot reviews: an offshore profile without verifiable oversight and high risk.

Plans & pricing

Strengths

  • Global availability; crypto+fiat support; dedicated account manager.
  • No notable sovereignty advantage documented.

Weaknesses

  • ⚠️ Offshore-only license (Dominica), no deposit guarantee; high fees; lengthy KYC; no verifiable Trustpilot.
  • Custodial: the platform holds your funds and can freeze or lose them.
  • Full KYC required: verified identity, zero pseudonymity.
  • Subject to regulation (Licenza bancaria internazionale offshore rilasciata dalla Financial Services Unit di Dominica (International Banking Act), con Digital Assets license per le crypto; nessuno schema di garanzia depositi): reporting to authorities and freezes on order.

Verdict

D C ★ 2.5/5 ★ 2.3/5

The low score follows naturally from the absence of a clearly declared, verifiable licence: the only reference is Dominica's Financial Services Unit at the Ministry of Finance, with no deposit-guarantee scheme. Add high fees, a lengthy KYC and no verifiable Trustpilot reviews, and for a general user it's a high-risk profile.

High privacy and global availability with both crypto and fiat support may appeal to those seeking less regulatory friction. But the absence of verifiable oversight cuts both ways: fewer formal constraints, yet no assurance the custodian actually holds the funds, in an account that remains fully custodial.
