OFFSHORE BANKING in Belize.... - question

**jalami** · 07-02-2007, 06:22 AM

Been recommended Provident before -- wouldn't deal with scotiabank or first caribbean (which is Barclay's + CIBC) though, they're Canadian-owned.

Hello guys,

I'm looking for an offshore bank.

I want a personal bank account with full internet banking and a debit/credit card attached to my account.

Someone told me Belize is a good option.

I wonder if any of you used one of the following banks perhaps?

belizebank.com
firstcaribbean.com
scotiabank.com
atlanticibl.com
providentbelize.com

any input appreciated

Can only comment on ScotiaBank - solid as a rock and obviously comply with offshore privacy laws.

PS... Just noticed the "personal account" thing - it may be better having a company associated with the bank account.

**polish_aristocrat** · 07-07-2007, 08:48 AM

ah well...

**DaddyHalbucks** · 07-07-2007, 09:12 AM

Why do you need an offshore bank?

Will an offshore bank really provide what you seek?

probably tax reasons, heh

Why do you want to know?

Everyone is different and there can be many reasons for OS banking - it's also not a subject which needs explaining to anyone on a chat board since that usually involves disclosing biz background/activity.

It also does not necessarily have anything to do with taxes

PS BTW - How much money you got in your bank account?? *lol*

keep in mind, if you are a us citizen, having a foreign bank account MUST be disclosed on your 1040, and if you do not, you are committing fraud. If you do disclose a foreign account, you are MUCH more likely to get an audit.

$0.02
