Business Offshore bank account, help/suggestion needed - GoFuckYourself.com

freecartoonporn · 07-12-2015, 08:28 PM

Hi all ,

i have client and he needs help with the issue he is facing.

client is from India , he is receiving funds from US and want to send funds back to US/UK or few other countries for affiliate payments.,

he has bank account in India, but there are limitations on how much funds he can send abroad in a year, plus , every-time, money goes to India it gets converted to INR and everytime he sends money from India to US or some other country funds gets converted to USD , so he has to pay currency conversion fee twice.

now he would like to open offshore bank account somewhere outside India, where he can receive funds in USD and send funds from there and remaining funds he can transfer to his bank in India. offshore bank should have online wire transfer facility.

he wants to send wire transfers to US / UK regularly.
what are his options., ?

he already contacted affiliatechecks/affilaitepayments and they already turned him down without any reason.

Thanks for your time and have a great day ahead.

I used to have my offshore assets at UBS in Singapore up until a couple of years ago when they signed an agreement to willingly provide tax information about account holders to US, Germany and others. So it defeated the purpose of having an "offshore" account

If your friend is Indian, then tell him to try a Luxembourg bank as most of them seem to cater to Indians and their needs.

Most people think it's trendy and boast Cayman islands for offshore accounts. Yes if you are a drug dealer

, but I prefer putting mine in BMI in Seychelles.

Bitcoin instant transfer with small commission?

Problem with luxembourg banks is the wire transfer costs. Some of them want like $80 for an incoming wire, so if you are an affiliate and pushing several small programs getting $500 payments then an $80 fee per wire hitting the account is a bit high.

That's true, they have one of the highest wire transfer costs. I should have mentioned it in my recommendation because if his Indian friend is a small time affiliate, then those fees would eat him up

But as far as "Indian Friendly" banking, Luxembourg is the way to go if he can swallow the wire fees. They are great banks, just not for my uses

UniCredit in Luxembourg would be the best because their ROA % is high for assets management and on Capital investments, it's about 33% higher than the other banks in the Lexembourg. Unfortunately, I don't have any contact at UniCredit to help set up an account but they are very easy to deal with, it doesn't take much to open an account as long as your friend has his paperwork in order.

As for me, my parents deal with BMI for their assets as well so that's how I started dealing with them but I did do my due diligence on how they operate especially when it comes to tax laws/agreements with North American countries, and Seychelles is one of those countries that unlike Cayman or Bahamas, they actually do have "an official agreement" with the US to provide tax information if requested, but unofficially they do not comply with any requests.

As for wire transfer fees, yes, the fees are also relatively high for sending wire transfers, if I remember correctly, it's around $60, maybe higher depending on which bank. But if your friend is doing larger transactions over $2000+ each time, then it's not really a high fee.

What about Belize?

k0nr4d · 07-12-2015, 11:27 PM

Tell him to check out choicebank in belize. It's the same bank paxum and payoneer use. The incoming wire fee is something like $12 or some shit, alot more reasonable then luxembourg banks.

If he wants to keep larger amounts of money but doesn't wanna get eaten by bank fees, open account at choicebank and then every 10k or something transfer it to a safer bank in luxembourg.

One thing I would like to input info in this thread... registration of a offshore company is not a big deal but opening a bank account with adult related business is very difficult until and unless some financial company account or some other company name which also do non adult related transaction....

NRAs have no problems on opening accounts in USA, normally. Many banks to chose from. His tax has nothing to do with the location of his bank. He will need to pay tax in the US if he has income there that is taxable. If the income is not taxable, then no need to pay taxes.

pornguy · 07-13-2015, 06:04 AM

Mexico Border with US can have an account in dollars and send receive in dollars. but he has to have legal status that must be maintained.
