Offshore BankingWhat is Offshore Banking? It is much like your conventional Banking, except that the bank is based in an Offshore Jurisdiction or Tax Haven. Offshore Banks carry out the same functions of transferring money into and out of accounts, you can have an offshore savings account, set up card services, loans etc. ![]() Why should I have an Offshore Bank Account? Offshore Banking is required simply for an offshore business to function. Once you have chosen your preferred tax haven, have set up your offshore company you will now be able to arrange an offshore bank account. Clearly finance is the lifeblood of any business and if you open an Offshore Bank Account, this will keep your money offshore (where you can avoid tax) Are they hard to set up? In recent times, due to increased vigilence by authorities trying to avert criminals and terrorists, setting up bank accounts has been more difficult than in the past. This is simply because if the Bank requires increasing verification in the form of documentation of an individual or company and their activities,(often call due diligence), but the individuual or company desires increased privacy we have a dilemna. Also some goverments are now enforcing anti-avoidance measures for tax purposes, and so Banks in certain Tax Havens may have to declare the beneficial owner of the Bank Accounts. With the above in mind it is thus important to get the right solution for your needs. We have for some time provided offshore bank accounts in a number of Tax Havens with minimal ID requirements and good privacy protection including Panama (some of the strictest privacy laws in the world), St Kitts, Belize, Antigua and Latvia. Many Offshore Service provided offer bank account introduction for a fee. We have taken the decision to direct you straight to the best offshore bank accounts, as we do not consider it necessary to pay us $200-600 for introduction, when you can access the forms yourself. We will of course provide additional free advice if required. Also we continue to offer an Offshore Bank Account with Visa Electron Card for $350 for those of you that just want it taken care of or if you need an account set up urgently (set up 48-72 hours).
