offshore bank account
 

im searching for a offshore bank account with a debit card mastercard or visa

creditcard is good too but the fee's are higher then 3000$

does someone know a good offshore bank with a debit card (mastercard/visa) ?

thanks.

I was going to post and ask the same question today but you beat me to it...

Some people at another forum suggested http://bankcrozier.com/ but i don't know, it seems a little bit to cheap...

I've heard that the Bank of Butterfield is a good one:

http://www.bankofbutterfield.bm/web2000/home1.html

1000$ usd to open a account at bankcrozier, isnt that much ?

i cant find info about a debit card on Bank of Butterfield.

and more banks are welcome offcourse, thanks.

Actually the 1000 is a deposit and not a fee, you still have the money...

Nah, but it looks interesting. Anyone else use these guys?

hi

check out this http://www.wsr.biz

Well latvia seems a little bit risky...

I found this site, gonna try contacting a bank in swiss directly instead of going through an agent.

Latvia is one of best offshores for banking, many that do international business recommended to use latvia banks
MiltiBanka (http://multibanka.com/), Rietumu Banka (http://rietumu.lv), etc
Cyprus also regarded for its offshore banking

My advice is to go for someone outside EU. Latvia will join EU in 2004 as you know.

What is the best way to quietly move money offshore? Money orders or something like that?

Have you processor to wire them

Used these guys to set up my US corp, bank accounts, mail and phone forwarding:

They also offer IBC's and offshore bank accounts for $2500+ but I havent used them for that so cant reccommend them.

Im guessing why you want an offshore account... I wouldnt do ANYTHING unless you've talked to some professionals about it.

i have very bad experience with opening an offshore account in Rietumu banka, it takes more than 3 months , and still it's not resolved , after 11th Sept, things going very slowly , and hard to get it,

if have You got it, can You tell me whether are You setisfied with them ? they have also internet banking ..:(

Best way is a offshore company (Bahama, Panama) + bank account.

Latvian Banks:

http://www.parex.net/
http://www.rietumu.com

internet banking, debit CC - no problem.

Scandinavian Bank Group:
http://www.nordea.com/eng/

i cant find any info about a debit cc on nordea.com/eng

Anyone used any of the banks at yambo.biz ?

Is there anyone here who has succesfully opened an account offshore?

Why bahamas? Ive done some research and belize(for IBC) looks the best so far to me...

yambo.biz - less than one year in business. This is only offshore company, the big risk.

For me the best bahamas (stability, low cost), 4U belize.

It's very difficult :)

If you want somewhere not so unstable as central America, try offshore banks in:

The Isle of Man
Gurnsey
Jersey

lol I already have an account there but they report all transactions over $7500 to the government plus they will report you if they think that you are doing illegal shit such as not paying tax.

yambo.biz is run by Russians.

http://www.wsr.biz - I've ordered a Delaware corp from them about a month ago and it's still not ready. Their support doesn't respond unless you YELL.

BTW, if your in the USA, don't even think about it. There hitting ALL americans who are trying to do just that really hard. They are requiring banks to tell them if there are any customers with Visa/mastercard accounts in Offshore accounts and other shit.

To those outside USA, I'm sure it would work but if your Auditted your fucked.

Sammy

Do they issue debit cc's?

Which of the latvian banks do this?

When it comes time to do my incorporation I was going to use www.loyalbank.com

just don't get an offshore visa/mc.

don't go to a russian bank or in an 'unstable' country.

I am assuming you want this account to setup a charitable trust account for the feed the children foundation.
LOL
Another bank I have heard of is www.loyalbank.com
