Introduction – The Forex profession is unlicensed in almost all jurisdictions. Thus when opening a bank account it is impossible to show the bank a license. This makes the banks reluctant to open the account. We can obtain Forex and Futures Brokers bank accounts in Guatemala with a billion dollar bank.
The Solution – What we do is form an anonymous Guatemala Bearer Share Corporation. Then we open up a corporate bank account with this corporation in a bank with a billion dollars in assets. The bank will allow you to receive funds from clients for investment and then forward these funds to the broker you are using to do the trades.
About the Bank – The Bank offers online banking which allows one to check balance, history and execute outgoing wire transfers. The bank will allow you to hold EUROS, US Dollars and the local currency. Government bank insurance is in place but just for $2600 per bank account. The good thing is it shows the government is watching the banks closely because they do not want to pay off on 400,000 bank accounts. The banks have no trouble. The bank will issue Visa cards and ATM debit cards.
Bank Secrecy – Guatemala has tight bank secrecy.
Bank Visit – Not necessary.
Guatemala Corporations – To learn more about anonymous bearer share Guatemala Corporations please go here:
Minimum Deposit – The minimum deposit for USD accounts is $5000. The minimum deposit for EURO accounts is 5000 EUROS.
Due Diligence – All we need is a scan of all the pages of your passport sent in an email as jpeg or jpg files. We also need a scan of both sides of the drivers license. That is it. No reference letters required.
Taxes – Guatemala does not tax offshore derived income.
Time Frame – It will take about two full weeks to form the Guatemala Corp and open the bank account. Much of this time is to allow for the courier to bring you bank forms which you need to execute and return.
Tax Treaties – Guatemala only has tax treaties with the other Central American States which are El Salvador, Nicaragua, Honduras and Costa Rica. There are no Tax Information Exchange Agreements with any nation in Europe, Canada, United States, Africa, or Asia.
Mutual Legal Assistance Treaties – Guatemala has no mutual legal assistance treaties with Europe, USA, Canada, and Asia. Mutual Legal Assistance Treaties are often used to turn a tax case into a criminal case claiming tax fraud and thus circumventing the fact that there is no tax treaty.
Double Tax Treaties – Guatemala has none of these.
Judgment Reciprocity – This is an extremely unlikely event to see happen in Guatemala. Not a concern.
Fee – The fee for the Guatemala Corporation and the bank account for Forex and Futures brokers is $5000. We accept payment by wire transfer.
