In what currency is my account?
The large banks offer a multi-currency account. For this type of account we ask a fee of 2,000 euro versus the normal 800 euro; this is because you must present more documents, all legalized, and at times the translation has to be made into the language of the country where the bank as its main headquarters. The other accounts are in American dollars.

The advantage is that your clients can pay you in different currencies and that you don’t lose money paying commissions on currency exchanges. You can spend in any currency, the funds are withdrawn from the balance of that currency and if you don’t have funds in that currency they will be detracted from the balance of another currency.

Yes. All countries that offer offshore banking legislation guarantee absolute secrecy. In the last few years exceptions have been made only and exclusively about clients that have been indicted for drug and arms trafficking. But you surely don’t have to worry about this. If you are worried, we suggest that you ask no further questions and turn directly to another legal firm.

Why so many difficulties?
Unfortunately, the pressures from the industrialized countries are strong and more and more banks prefer avoiding risks. If an offshore bank has been singled out as aiding and abetting the laundering of dirty money or other, it could lose its license or the correspondence accounts can be closed so that it becomes practically impossible to function. If you were owners of an offshore bank you would do the same thing: you would eliminate the smaller clients that give little profit and risk the same as larger clients. After the terrorist attacks on 9/11 the USA has begun making heavier pressures so that today it’s impossible to open offshore accounts in the USA and many other countries.

Doing offshore banking is becoming more and more difficult because of the numerous international restrictions which are imposed on the banks by the governments with the excuse of fighting against terrorism and recycling of money produced by illicit trafficking. Deep down, the only thing that the governments want is to control our money.
