poll: What you think! Do we still need a offshore bank account?

[icecold]

I was wondering what you opinion is. Most of us may have learned about EMI accounts and how easy they are to open and apply for.

Do you still think it is a good idea to open a real offshore bank account?

 

[drillbill]

EMI account have not used my bank account for the last 4 months!

 

[diablo]

same boat, second that!

 

[suzy]

EMI account, I don't believe in real banking and privacy any longer. Sorry!

 

[MoneyMiner]

I will only do EMI not real offshore account.

 

[happyjohn]

EMI account most times! Anytime you get troubles with a real bank account you want‌ to consider EMI account!

 

[adoffshore]

as the rest here. EMI account works and with help from @auric even better.

 

[uplana]

EMI over normal bank account at any time! just don't go with Leupay they suck!‌

 

[bountymounty]

It's not a bad idea to have an offshore bank account at least! What you‌ are looking at is a EMI for anonymous trx and a real offshore account for‍ regular business.

What is the best EMI account?

 

[void]

for personal use TransferWise‌ is hard to beat, Revolut and Epayments are also good

 

[StuartG]

Best EMI account for Corporate use?

 

[void]

for corporate use I‌ have only experience with TransferWise and it suits my needs very well - if there‍ is nothing shady I think you will have no problems whatsoever and for a small⁠ company you can use it as a full featured replacement for your traditional bank account⁤
others may know better options though

 

[TurnedToRobot]

TransferWise and Revolut may work well for you!

 

[Tom]

Revolut only for EU inhabitants residing in the EU

Other: Onshore account with pristine legend attached to it.

There are great EMI's out there which could replace a bank account if such is‌ impossible for you to obtain.

 

[Tom]

I live in China which make things sometimes complicated.
TransferWise also do not send their‌ debit card to China.

 

[TurnedToRobot]

You could simply setup a UK corp and use an EMI account for the business.‌ Wouldnøt that work for you?

 

[AMD]

I would never give up a real bank over EMI! but I would never give‌ up an EMI over a bank account 😵
