Multiple Jurisdiction Offshore Bank Accounts

Anonymous Banking

Introduction – Our law firm Offshore Legal Associates receives a fair amount of inquiries from people around the world asking about obtaining an anonymous bank account in an offshore jurisdiction. Here we will try to clear up what can be done and what cannot be done regarding anonymous banking.

No ID Banking – Most people consider anonymous banking to be where the bank has no ID on the account holder. Direct bank accounts like this have been gone for many years. They were the old numbered bank accounts and the Austrian Sparbuch accounts which were anonymous passbook accounts where the withdrawals had to take place physically in Austria with limits on amounts per day. The Sparbuch Accounts have been gone since 2002.

Numbered Bank Accounts Still Available today (July 2011) - Numbered bank accounts where the bank had no idea who the account holder was are long gone. We can still get a numbered account but the bank will need a copy of the passport. Only a very few people at the bank have access to the account holder's name when it is a numbered account. So banks must have suitable ID on their clients. Rest assured any real bank anywhere in the world is going to require ID from anyone opening an account with the bank. The banks we work with do not require a personal visit. Providing any bank reference letters is risky and thus our banks do not require such reference letters from banks. The banks will treat these reference letters as a suspicious transaction and report it to their respective governments as such. For this reason many banks will not provide bank reference letters.

Offshore Bank Secrecy – This is not exactly anonymous banking. This is currently the way the offshore banks operate to protect the privacy of the clients. The banks require ID but retain this information and cover it with bank secrecy. This generally works fine unless one is involved in a major criminal case. The degree of protection offered varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Today with all the new Tax Information Exchange Agreements you have to bank in countries that do not have such an agreement with your country. We will be glad to check this for you, just ask. Eighty-two nation members of the OECD have such treaties in place. Guatemala and Andorra do not have tax treaties with other countries. Belize has some treaties but not with the USA or Canada. The degree of protection offered varies by jurisdiction.

Anonymous Corporations, Trusts and Foundations – The use of an anonymous corporation often referred to as a bearer share corporation (or an S.A.) tends to provide more privacy, but again is not anonymous banking. When wires come in and go out of the offshore bank account the wires are in the name of the corporation only. The owner or signatory on the account never has his or her name appear on any wires anywhere incoming or outgoing. This means no one can do a lookup to see who owns the corporation receiving or sending the wires since these corporations are anonymous and no owner’s names appear in any database or public registry. In fact the country itself does not know who owns the corporation. It is still not anonymous banking yet does offer a substantial degree of privacy and protection.

Andorra, Belize and Guatemala Banking – These are the jurisdictions that we consider to be the most secure and private. Andorra is the most anonymous with numbered accounts still available.

Fees – Generally the fees are $1995 to $3495 to set up an anonymous corporation, construct a trust to own the corporation and set up the bank account with online banking, credit cards, stock brokerage, holding gold and silver (allocated) etc. We receive payment by wire transfer.

Time Frame to Set Up – Generally the entire structure can be operating completely within 10-14 days working days of receipt of documents, instructions and funds. Our order form is found here:
