Offshore banks and adult webmasters? - GoFuckYourself.com

imafuckingaussie · 02-08-2005, 04:37 PM

Holy fuck, my offshore bank has cancelled my account. Been with them for 5 years, and I can only assume its because these sponsors continue to write the webmaster ID on the checks when they send them to me. I have "fuck" or similiar as some ID's and these come up on some checks now. Of course I have emailed them asking for a explanation, but I know this is the reason.

Now, holy shit batman, are there offshore banks that dont care where the money comes from? Urgently need to open something else up before the account gets closed. For a multi billion dollar industry there must be banks that can assist. Or do people still try to hide what they do to the banks in case the banks do have a problem?

any ideas????

Why do you need an offshore bank? Are you doing something illegal?

Clueless

There are distinct and quite LEGAL advantages for an Australian to have an offshore bank account if he or she is earning money off shore.

Most Australian webmasters do have one even if it's only with ePassporte.

Thanks other Steve, now are there any you could suggest to replace my existing one?

Can't help you there mate - since the Patriot Act came into force in the US it seems to be almost impossible to open an account there.

I think it's much the same in the UK - even if it isn't the exchange rate and the cost of depositing a foreign cheque into a UK bank makes it a poor alternative.
