Help with offshore personal bank account

[Mikoner]

Hi everyone,
I have been around for couple of weeks and have been reading throughout. I see there are many experienced players here so I have decided to tap up into your wisdom. Here is what I am looking for.
1) I want to open an offshore personal bank account. I want to keep it for savings. The problem I see is that I want this account to be able to receive the money only with an IBAN. The reason for this is that the account from where the money will be coming doesn't support anything else but IBAN only. No Swift, No BIC, No ACH, No sort code
Can you give me some suggestions. I have more questions but I don't water down the requested information

Welcome aboard 🙂

As you may have read Georgia seems for now to be the most easy account opening around if you find an agent that is able to help with the account opening.

Personally, I don't used anyone so far in Georgia nor do I consider to open an account in Georgia for various reasons but I know some people he are satisfied.

That said, I have had good experience to open an account in Cyprus for my Cyprus company as well as (more than 5 years by now) for a Belize and Seychelles corp which all are still active.

Today it will require a lot to be able to open a Cyprus bank account, at least, a Cyprus company with real address and business activity.

My question was about personal bank account. I will have a different setup for business. The problem that I have is that the business bank account that I have money doesn't support any transfer but and only IBAN. So basically I have money sitting there and not being able to transfer safely. For example I have tried to transfer to my Revolut account, but the Revolut ask for Swift as well as IBAN. Most of the EMI doesn't support IBAN or if they do only in combination with SWIFT

It is in Greece. It is a merchant provider with its own EMI

@Mikoner did you find a solution to your issue? im in almost the same boat as you.
I have also heard fairly good things about Georgia reading around. But as per @Admin's comments i feel uneasy about opening an account there. And for my own reason would be - how long would Georgia be so 'easy' to open an account with? the days are numbered until they start signing new agreements and start freezing accounts and ask for proof of source of funds
If i had to open an account there whether business or personal i dont think i would sleep well at night. Although id love to hear from anyone how easily prone they are in changing their policies for account opening, without asking too many questions, etc...
Would love to know anyone's experience there or the reliability of banking in Georgia as whole.

 

[Mikoner]

No, so far I don't have a solution. And to be honest I am little bit disappointed of the amount of the responses I get here, and about the quality of information. So far all the responses to most of the questions even though different situations are the same. I have contacted couple of the senior members without any response

It is possible to open a personal bank account in Cyprus but it requires you to visit the bank under the account opening. No one can setup such thing remote any longer. Only EMI's can do so.

@Mikoner if you are from Greece - i urge you NOT to approach Cyprus in any way (since i would assume you would have to give your Greek passport to Cyprus, thats like asking to get caught). As both countries are connected and swap information very easily.
I dont know why people on here suggest Cyprus for the only "go-to solution", is there nothing else out there besides shitholes like Georgia? Or is it because everyones' IBC wants to trade with SEPA IBAN's and Cyprus banks are the only ones which also allows tax-free offshore IBC's ??

that's the problem. You can go to Swiss, Lichtenstein and similar places but they will require ultra high min. deposits. So you can go to Dubai and risk either your outgoing transfers to be blocked or ULTRA high min deposits. Finally you can go to Jersey, Cayman's and face ultra high min deposits.

I'm not sure where you want to go then??

I was told that banks in Puerto Rico don't exchange information. Is this right? . They also work with IBAN and Swift

What about Singapore? And what would an ultra-high minimum deposit mean exactly? What is the minimum

 

[TurnedToRobot]

50 - 100K USD minimum deposit usually. Personal visit is required and you need a lawyer or accountant by hand.
