The "Golden" Rules of Offshore Banking

If your interest in having an offshore bank account is privacy and secrecy it is important that you follow certain proven rules to maximize your privacy and minimize the risk of someone else discovering your account. The importance of these rules cannot be over stated.

The rules of having an offshore corporation or offshore bank account:

1. Never tell anyone you have an offshore corporation or offshore bank account.
2. Never fund your offshore account directly from your domestic bank account, use a transfer service or other anonymous methods we can advise you of, i.e. byuying and selling digital currencies for a wire.
3. Never send funds directly to your domestic bank account from offshore, again use a transfer service or other methods.
4. Never use the offshore bank issued Mastercard/Visa connected to your offshore account in your home country due to frequent information sharings between Visa/Mastercard and various governments. Instead use an anonymous, non-attached debit card such as the one we offer.
5. Never use your offshore bank account to pay personal or business expenses in your home country. Instead, withdraw cash from a non-attached anonymous debit card and either pay with cash or deposit this into your domestic account and then pay it, subject to reporting rules for cash deposits in your home country which may range from $1000 - $9999. Thus it is best to make small cash deposits of $200-$500 at a time.
6. Never use an offshore issued debit card if it has the bank name prominently displayed on it at a local establishment where they know you. You never know who is going to notice that you have an offshore account and report it (bank employees, IRS agents, do-gooders).
7. Have your offshore bank hold your statements and do not receive official mail from your offshore bank at your home or office. Instead use an international drop mail location for receiving these documents and forwarding them to you. We can recommend a location for this if needed.
8. For clients with dual citizenship we recommend using the passport and address with the offshore bank for the country in which you do not reside.
9. Never visit the online banking page of your offshore bank from your home computer unless on a VPN (Virtual private network), proxy or other service that anonymizes your Internet service. Optionally visit an Internet cafe to do your banking. Countries can request ISP provide them with a list of clients visiting certain IP's of offshore banks.
   
10. Finally, setup a Google alert with the name of your country and the name of your offshore banking country with keywords such as "Tax information sharing ", "double tax treaty", "agree to information sharing", or even "OECD". This will keep you abreast of the latest developements. If you need addition advise on this please contact us
11. Optionally, ask us about our 100% anonymous offshore corporation and bank account you directly control.
