Try this one, they are doing great... Ask for an explanation first, and mention nettrust as a refferal... ;)

I would reccomed HVB in austria, having there account for about year, and its without problems. However they online user interface is only in german language (but they provide english informations how to deal with it).

i agree in total! latvian banks along with panamanian are the best banks for this biz... ;)

Bloody hell nettrust!

They sure got premium prices for Panama corps! Looks like $1500 each. I got deals of corps (just cos we buy a number for another biz), but even as one-off's I've never paid more than around $700 tops complete with lawyers or justices as nominees.

If you're serious about this you should first take your time to plane your move and second hire a specialist (lawyer) to help you with the legal details.

Also you should pick up a copy of the book "The offshore money book"

If your looking to move just small ammounts of money offshore you may consider E-Gold it's not really pratical but very private, they won't ask you for any info and they only freeze accounts by order of american courts (they are located in Nevis).

most swiss banks require a minimum balance of between 250,000$ and 1,000,000$

Hell.. they are no different to "onshore" banks sfera. In fact, there are probably more screwups with onshore banks than anything else.

A classic case was Bank of America who decided to launder money and turn a blind eye. The "little" amount of money was $750 mill and this was then split and directed on to a number of banks worldwide - including offshore banks and caused these banks no end of grief because their financial regulatory authories picked up the scam.

Most offshore jurisdictions have tight controls on their banks - they can't afford screwups.

Part of the reason PA.. least from my side, is that I'd be *very* reluctant to pass someone over to any bank - either onshore or offshore, unless I know em personally.

Try Googling for "offshore banking" .. tho really depends on many other factors and what jurisdiction you want banking PA. "Daily trading" type accounts can often be opened online (with notorized corp paperwork to follow). Most banks are fine for normal trading, but some others more relevant for "motherloads" of funding - these banks are often not suitable for daily corp trading - more investment - and usually with a requirement to visit the bank personally and present credentials.

RayBonga is 100% correct - first stage is "you" and where you are resident. If you are legitimately resident offshore - there are no problems and plenty banks to choose from.

PS Better add the usual "US citizen" clause... which is the exception to almost all other countries. The whole concept of offshore is decimated for US folks in that there is a requirement to declare and interest annually - even in relatively small corps. Flipside is the IRS gives around $80K allowances for foreign residency. But there is still a requirement for annual filings whether resident within the US or elsewhere.

not for a company, but for a person, you can open one very easy in mexico.

Jamie · 06-24-2006, 07:26 PM

I'm looking to setup an offshore company just to be able to process with EU IPSP's.

Any recommendations on where to incorporate and which bank to use?

This is what I've been told so far.
http://www.fletcherkennedy.com
http://www.offshoregibraltar.com to set up a Gibraltar non-resident company
http://www.treppides.com - $2,000 for Cyprus incorporation, $1,500 annual fees including the provision of nominee director, company secretary, and registerred office address.

You are not asking for much Jamie, so would suggest you just get the simplest of the lot - and this is probably going to be Gibraltar. Fidelity at offshoregibraltar.com are fine for this.

Before proceeding.. noticed you are in the US - it would be worth checking with your accountant and legal guy regarding "offshore" to avoid raising red flags with the IRS.

Alternatively, is there any reason why you can't just get a "non offshore" corp - eg, a UK non-resident company? (Costs less anyways).

Here's some relevant links:

http://www.jordans.co.uk/jordans3.ns...dent+companies

http://www.jordans.co.uk/jordans3.nsf/Main/UK+benefits

Banking can be anywhere you like - with the exception of a Gibraltar corp. A non-resident Gib corp can not have a bank account within Gibraltar.

Only my

but since you are prob a US citizen, I'd be inclined to keep everything open and transparent. (Also take some professional advice on this as regards US law).

A friend of mine uses this Swiss bank. They take small accounts from foreign individuals/companies:

Stay away from Latvian Banks... several of them have simply closed shop and disapeared with their clients money.

Others will every few years freeze all their accounts and demand all sorts of business and financial documents to unfreeze it, obviously hoping some of their clients can't produce all the required documents.

interesting, but do they require references?

or ask detailed questions about the source of funds?

and what do you mean by small accounts? ( what $$ range )

After 9/11 all banks ask very detailed questions on the source of funds, though you would have nothing to fear unless you say you are a smutpeddler

well sure thing

but for some reason Timon recommended that bank

samsam · 06-25-2006, 05:28 AM

panama, latvia are more risky (remember what happened to George Jung)

jersey, guernsey, isle of man all have stable offshore governments and if youre in europe, the tax is deducted from your interest and paid to your government anonymously. but if the bank you are depositing into has a branch in your home contry its possible they can force the bank to give up your info. this happened in the usa and in ireland and most recently in uk:

http://www.globalpolicy.org/nations/...326evasion.htm

http://www.investorsoffshore.com/asp...toryname=23569

if you want privacy then you should look at swiss only as its against the law there for them to disclose your private details to anyone even the government and there are stiff penalties.
