Why you should not work with Austrian Banks, especially "Oberbank AG".

Ladies & Gentlemen,

While being in Vienna, Austria, quite frequently this year, I have taken this as an opportunity to share my thoughts of being in the City of Artists. Truth to be told, while being in Austria I'm extremely suffering from handling business not only with the locals, but rather the banks and their governmental restrictions.

Truth to be told, and deep in my heart, I'm proud to be a local Viennese man, and not only a gentlemen that would do everything to protect his friends, beloved ones, but rather more the empire that I have built. Even though, especially Viennese men tend to having reckless thoughts, that would like to show others so many things that they never knew. In a nutshell, Austria, Vienna, is a place to grow up and to die, however, there is nothing else in between and this is now something how I wanted it to be.

While running businesses across several continents, which includes PRSC Beijing - Belize - Dubai - Houston , Beijing, Belize City, Dubai and Houston (Texas), I always believer that Emirates NBD is one of the best banks I have ever been banking with and believe me, I have been there, done that and held accounts with banks such as 花旗 , Banking Circle , Barclays , Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, 招商银行 , UniCredit Bank Austria AG , Raiffeisen Bank International AG , 汇丰 and the list goes on and on and on.

Deep in my heart, I will and always have been loyal to United Arab Emirates and did all I can to connect the dots between the rest of the world and the UAE. This in turn, has lead to me, being confident to not only go global, but to also, to bring money from all over the world into Dubai. You won't believe, if I would have told you, that I even did business with North- / South-Africa, across Asia, North- / South-America, the Middle East and Europe, and there are very limited countries, that I have not been, which includes Cuba and Mexico, this in turn attracted the Cayman Islands / Belize to setup additional firms as well.

In a nutshell, I have come to the point where I praise the United Arab Emirates, and despise Europe and especially Federation of Austrian Industry for being paranoid and stubborn.

I can name and write hundreds of articles, examples, reasons for not wanting to stay, reside and do business in Austria. For over over 15 years I showed Austria my back and simply did not agree / accepted to consider Austria as a serious nation. A country that orders Euro Fighters to protect their nation and still has to consider, go for a referendum, to decide whether those fighter jets should have rockets. I just wonder, whether how they are going to protect their airspace, with potatoes, or by declaring war-, hate-speeches through their walkie-talkie, instead?

The reason for writing this article is quite simple and the whole hate against Austria, and it's banking system starts already with banks such as Oberbank of being one of the weakest links in the chain.

Imagine, I'm running a multi-million Dollar business, across several continents and when it comes to one little bank, that is based in Linz, Austria, it simply has reached my deadline. In fact, I just called their hotline and when I wanted to raise a complaint, they were rather like "we will forward your complaint", without even asking for clarification / details at all.

Just recently I have been contacting the sender of the wire transfer, as well as the bank, via LinkedIn, telephone and email, and all they said is that they are afraid that a retired man, running a winery could do money laundering while wiring Euro 1,156.05 from an Austrian bank account to an Emirates NBD Euro account / that a wire executed on September 4th 2024 / could take time and that September 4th to 12th, is still within the expected time range indeed. As of today, 12th September 2024, I'm still tapping in the dark, not knowing how long it will and would take to us receive such nominal and small amount.

Seriously, I got nothing to say, and nothing to add, I'm speechless and will and always be despising Austria, the government and Oberbank AG in particular.

Don't even consider Oberbank and to even conduct any business in Austria at all, you will be ripped off, and everyone is trying to get a piece of your cake. Please refer to one of my very first articles, mentioning the "Robin Hood" scenario.
