Off shore banking

[goonyaak]

Hi

I have been reading through the TG forum and following some of the links to sites which offer services for off shore banking. FOr example:

http://www.ptshamrock.com
http://www.debitcards4all.net
http://www.capitalconservator.com
http://www.no-name-mastercard-corpor...reprivacy.org/

Has anyone actually used any of theses services ? If so what was your experience ? My needs are: move my assets off shore to an anonymous account. Anonymous Credit/atm card. Interest bearing account or investment possibilities. And of course I am looking for affordable, stable, reliable (I know pick one). Also preferably with the highest secrecy, no Mlat/TIEA.
Is there a wiki or rating system for such services ? Perhaps TG should start one - rather than digging through the forum, it could give users a quick reference. Any comments, advice etc is greatly appreciated.

you need to know that there is nothing like anonymous bank account, the less documents you provide at time of opening the less stable bank or finance company is and be prepared that your money could be lost, there are solution for protecting your money, but this depend individually on case by case.

I would avoid PT Shamrock as they are likely to sell you their "Secret Numbered Account" or similar "Anonymous" bank accounts which are actually First Oceanic Bank for 2000 Eur. If you have not heard about the First Oceanic "bank" scam, I suggest you Google it. They are a fake bank in Somalia.

Likewise Capital Conservators is not a bank and sells something called a "Treasury account" with no depositor insurance and extremely high fees. Also, one of their principles was indicted for money laundering a few months back.

As for setting up an anonymous account most use a corporation to achieve a degree of personal anonymity so the transactions are conducted in the company name and not your own. However, it is a different day for offshore banking and depending on your country and where you bank offshore your information may not be 100% private if you are not careful especially as it applies to taxes due a range of new tax information agreements.

More popular now is a variety of trust and nominee bank accounts opened by lawyers/professionals who use their passports instead of yours so the account is anonymous, accept when used illegally (non-tax related of course). Note that fees are higher and there are usually transactions fees of 1-4% depending on the amounts and level of risk. There are pluses and minuses if this option as well.

There are also some personal ID scans-only real offshore bank accounts....

One of the things you may wish to do first is review what we consider the "rules" of how to bank offshore safely.

The banks want passport, utility bill and reference letter scans and they are banks with direct SWIFT and individual IBAN's, thus not North Cyprus or Somalian fake banks. Nor are they debit card's only but fully functional offshore corporate bank accounts with ability to send/receive wire, debit cards with no daily limits.

So far about 50 clients have opened this type of account in the last 6 months. The bank has also never turned anyone down that submitted the required docs and scans ;-)
