How do I choose the best offshore bank account?
Choosing the best offshore bank account depends entirely upon you.
Your needs and circumstances completely determine which offshore bank account is going to be best for you.
Sometimes this is a basic retail account such as HSBC Expat, Lloyds Offshore, Standard Bank Offshore, Barclays International or RBS International.
Sometimes better facilities and services offered by Offshore Private Banks such as Nedbank Private Wealth, Julius Bear, Arbuthnot and Latham are better.
Somewhere in between these options are the hybrid trading/banking platforms such as Swissquote or SaxoBank.
Changing your offshore bank account once open can be like having your wisdom teeth extracted so we recommend you take great care when choosing which offshore bank account to go for!
There are many offshore bank accounts available but the best tend to charge low, transparent fees, are domiciled in a trusted, common law jurisdiction with good investor/depositor protection and allow for investments and banking on the same online platform.
Please read our individual reviews to learn which accounts may be suitable for your needs.
