Global InterGold seems to have gone to the similar path as OneCoin did with its banking. The scam appears to have tremendous problems keeping bank accounts despite using various shell companies.
The latest bank account the company had acquired via its shell company GIG Global Intergold Limited SRL lasted about two weeks until the bank account details were replaced just recently with new ones. There's yet again a new shell company presented to go along with the new bank account. The holder of the bank account is Global Intergold Spain SL. using Banco Santander in Spain.
Here are the new bank account details provided to the scam victims:

If I understood the Spanish registry information correctly, the company was incorporated in late 2018 with an initial capital of about 3000 euros. The person running the company is Kontogianni Sofia who appears to also be in charge of Global Gig Holding And Business Group SL.
Coincidentally Sofia Kontogianni (aka Sofia Leonidas Kontogianni) was also the owner and manager of Gold International Group Limited who was the shell company Global InterGold tried to use for banking scam money in March 2019. My records show that the bank account in question lasted maybe less than 2 weeks. Here you can find all the bank accounts Global InterGold has had during the time I have been observing the scam.
Update 9 May, 2019
I decided to test whether Global InterGold uses some other banks besides the one mentioned in my post above. International scams sometimes use different banks based on the region that victims of the scam use for registration.
While testing the registration system of Global InterGold I noticed that you didn't even need a valid email address or phone number to successfully sign up. Yet the registration form requires to fill up some nonsense to those fields.
Global InterGold seems to prefer Banco Santander at the moment for most regions but there are also some other banks used. For example Indian victims are directed to use a bank in Turkey. Anyway, here are the results of the bank accounts for different regions I managed to find so far:
This bank for example victims from India:

Update 3 June, 2019
The Nigerian bank accounts of Guaranty Trust Bank Plc have been removed just recently from the list provided to the victims of the scam for wire transfers. The bank account of Banco Santander remains for some reason. Let's see how long that lasts.
Update 4 June, 2019
The Nigerian bank accounts of Guaranty Trust Bank Plc have emerged back to the bank account list. Well, it's Nigeria after all, the home of the infamous Nigerian prince.
Google Maps shows this fine residence at the address of the beneficiary of the bank account:
 |
| INTERMETAL TRADE and EXCH CO LTD, The Concordia, 256A Ikorodu Crescent, Dolphin Estate, Ikoyi, Lagos, Nigeria. (Click to enlarge.) |
Pretty impressive! That barbed wire really convinced me that there's international investment gold business going on behind the fences.
Update 24 June, 2019
The Nigerian bank accounts of Guaranty Trust Bank Plc have been removed again from the list of bank accounts. Banco Santander still remains.
