which is of advantage to expats with financial commitments in more
than one nation or currency for example.

climate, by keeping your wealth in an offshore bank account you can
avoid the risks in your new nation such as high inflation, currency
devaluation or even a coup or war.
• For those expats living in a nation where you only pay tax on the
money you remit into that country, there is an obvious tax benefit to
keeping your money in an offshore bank account.
• Any interest earned is usually paid free from the deduction of
taxation. For those who don’t pay tax on foreign sourced income
this means they can enjoy greater returns immediately, without

• Offshore banking has been associated with the underground
economy and organized crime, through money laundering.
Following September 11, 2001, offshore banks and tax havens,
along with clearing houses, have been accused of helping various
organized crime gangs, terrorist groups, and other state or non-state
actors.
• The existence of offshore banking encourages tax evasion, by
providing tax evaders with an attractive place to deposit their hidden
income.
• Offshore jurisdictions are often remote, so physical access and
access to information can be difficult. Yet in a world with global
telecommunications this is rarely a problem. Accounts can be set up
online, by phone or by mail.
