Offshore Personal Banking Accounts

Anyone can acquire offshore banking accounts taking into consideration that they meet the banks requirements. We strongly suggest that, if you choose to open offshore banking accounts for personal reasons, that you consider offshore company incorporation. This will provide you with added personal privacy and asset protection. Some basic reasons for opening personal offshore bank accounts and using offshore internet banking are the following:

  • Adverse credit in your current jurisdiction.
  • Asset protection from lawsuits, divorce, etc.
  • Relocation to another jurisdiction where banking is not stable.
  • Receipt of settlement, winnings, or inheritance.
  • High liability profession (i.e. doctor, lawyer, accountant, consultant)

Reasons for opening personal offshore bank accounts and using offshore internet banking are not limited to the above list. You may have your own specific reason for opening offshore banking accounts.

Our services include account application package, assistance with completing documentation and revision of documentation before it is sent to the bank. We complete all of the necessary forms for you, but your personal visit, assisted by us, for registering your signature is required.
