This kind of development is typical for emerging markets. The remaining 6 are strong, well funded banks with broad range of services. None of the banks issue anonymous debit cards, all bank customers are identified. So you don't have any privacy, but if you want to use *the best* online banks there is, Estonia is the right place for you. Now, Latvia. Latvia has more or less the same laws that Estonia and the goal of mainstream parties is to join EU. In light of this, it is clear that anonymous debit cards from Latvia will soon become history. Why? Because it's against the policies of EU and Latvia doesn't want to be offshore heaven. I'm not even sure that issuing anonymous cards is legal in Latvia. Don't know much about Lithuania (third, the southern-most Baltic country).
