But, Wenoff, if you are looking to minimize risk when it comes to banking, may I suggest that you take a look at Euro Pacific Bank that is a so called 100% reserve bank. This means that they do not lend out or "play" with your money as the the usual banks do. I would feel much more comfortable to leave my money in that kind of a bank. This kind of banking does however mean that they have to take some higher fees on most services and the eventual interests you may earn will be very low. You may look into their gold backed︀ account as well. I am not an expert in either offhsore banking or offhore corps,︁ merely a newbie, but I share your concern on this. Very few banks, offshore or︂ not, are sound and safe these days.
