Offshore Banking Information

Offshore banking is establishing a bank account outside of one’s country of residence. The purpose regularly is for asset protection, tax savings (depending on the state of the account holder), financial privacy and estate planning.  Because 96% of the world’s lawsuits occur in the United States, many US people have

sought out jurisdictions beyond their borders to secure their wealth in safer climes.

Benefits of Having an Offshore Bank Account

Some of the benefits are as follows:

  • Mostly offshore bank accounts offer more service for less cost than bank accounts in the United States. Foreign banks generally offer better interest rates than what the United States provides. Why? Because the expenses to operate a bank are lower in many foreign countries. It results in more money remaining in the bank’s coffers to pay out to depositors.
  • A wide range of jurisdictions that allow offshore bank accounts for foreign citizens generally come with a lower tax rate, attracting a full scale of both corporations and private individuals to do business with them.
  • They are borrowing money at a lower interest rate.
  • Few regulations are there for borrowing money.
  • For the most part, offshore banks provide a great deal of confidentiality and often make it difficult for outsiders to obtain information about the company or individual that holds the account. Privacy varies by country to country.
  • Countries with stable and prosperous governments bring with them a degree of protection against economic, political and financial problems that may occur in one’s home country. Qualitatively, these stable countries offer better investment choices for both the person and his business. As the economy in the United States continues to fluctuate, trying to pull out of its last recession, this concept has become increasingly more attractive to both private parties and their businesses.
  • Online banking is available.

What Services do Offshore Banks Offer?

Most of the offshore banks offer similar types of services as US banks. Plus, in many cases, they provide more. However, depending on the jurisdictions of the banks overseas, the laws and opportunities can vary, and the restrictions placed on the country by the United States government can also fluctuate.

Typically, most offshore banks offer:

  • Savings accounts
  • Checking accounts
  • Investment management accounts
  • Securities custody accounts and clearing services
  • Retirement accounts and savings options
  • International trade financing, foreign exchange, and multi-currency transactions
  • Wire transfers
  • Letters-of-credit
  • Loans
