In 2016 I got a letter from my taxman (EU) about interest and dividend income made in USA in 2014 and 2015. I was never a resident, nor citizen of USA. I only had personal brokerage account there and the amount in question was a few hundred USD.

Their letter started with that friendly five-letter word called "FATCA".

How about just NOT evading taxes? Then there would be no problems with CRS.

Yeh but what if you live in a country ruled by thieves, criminal gangs. This is the way most people in the world live. They pay tax and it ends up buying expensive homes in London. A guy just trying to make an honest living and supporting his family has his money stolen. That is why some try to evade paying tax. What is wrong with that?

Georgia will join CRS soon.

As far as I know, Northern Cyprus does not allow outgoing SWIFT transfers for foreigners.

Decent banking options in a non-CRS country ?

still safe this strategy from the tax man ?

I would not recommend you to open a bank account in non-CRS countries at all. If you look at this list, you can understand that these countries are not respectable from the point of view of the banking sphere. If you still want to save money on taxes, then choose a jurisdiction with a loyal tax burden (Cyprus, Hong Kong). Estonia is loyal to IT startups too.

So, did you go?
What's your experience with banking in Northern Cyprus?
Are you satisfied?
Do you feel that your money is secured?

Just to add, I know about one specific subject at the TRNC bank market ”“ Turkish Bank Group. Native at TRNC (established 1901), having member banks at TRNC, Turkey and UK as well ”“ and having as a member Allied Turkish Bank IBU Ltd <=> dedicated offshore bank. Seems interesting; but honestly ”“ I'd be afraid of political instability (in the long-term perspective) of TRNC.

And just for the record, there is also a branch of Halkbank at TRNC. (Halkbank is at Northern Macedonia, too; and AFAIK they are open to non-residents.)
