After @Konstanz's very interesting thread about UAE I figured to open a similar thread about Cyprus and Malta, and maybe later we can do the same for other tax-free\low-tax countries. I don't mean just the tax stuff which is kinda similar, I mean how is it to physically live there.

I figured to open a less public thread in which we can share info about non-CRS accounts that are still possible to open. Serbia Raiffeisen Serbia - charge 10 EUR per month but will waive it if you deposit 30K EUR. Very open to non residents. Erste Serbia - Free to open, no fees, give free EUR...

Any recommendations for non-EU brokerage accounts? For those that are paranoid and don't want to keep assets in the EU. Preferably in non banana republic destinations. Saxo Whitelabels also interesting to know. I know the following: Strateo - CH Corner Bank - CH Interactive Brokers - US DBS in...

A question to the FX\CFD traders here, which regulation is better for traders - FCA or ASIC? I've asked a broker if I can choose with which entity I trade and that was their response: "We're a global business so yes it's possible. But it's important to note that if you trade with our other...
