Is a offshore company with nominee director and shareholder considered to be the only way to get anonymity? Is there no other way to avoid to provide the KYC documents?

Yes sill required, but only for internal use.. it would require a court order to get the information released which is very difficult to obtain unless you are into any financing of terrorism.yancy said:yancy said:

Yes that is correct BUT BE AWARE that the nominee director/ shareholder is the legal owner of the company.yancy said:yancy said:

So it is good for the bank to know who the ultimate beneficial owner is and it is perfect that the ultimate beneficial owner is listed in companies record and that the nominee's have no power to execute any transaction on behalf of the company without written permission from the ultimate beneficial owner thanks to the declaration of trust.hugger said:hugger said:

Similarly, if the Bank account is in the name of the company and the Nominee Director is the signatory to the account, then BE AWARE that the nominee director is the legal owner of the Bank account (and all its contents).
