What are the advantages of Banking
Offshore?
Offshore banking can present solutions to many of the issues facing
people living and working abroad, providing a range of "hassle-free"
products and services designed specially for them. With expats often
needing to move their lives and their finances around the world,
offshore banking can help to ease the transition to a new country,
company, culture and financial system.
No matter where in the world customers are located, offshore banking can
offer a global service that is always close at hand.
Instant access and availability are important to people living and
working abroad, as you are constantly "on the move". Account information
needs to be accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Automated
telephone and internet banking services are pre-requisites together with
a website offering a comprehensive range of product and service
information plus financial and lifestyle tools.
Current Accounts
Interest bearing current accounts, which provide a flexible and
secure foundation for offshore finances are available in a variety of
currencies e.g. Sterling, US dollars and Euro. These are a basic
necessity for day-to-day banking transactions.

and with global payment and cash withdrawal facilities, provide easy
