Executive Summary – Well we now can get numbered bank accounts. These are very difficult to get. We are not using Switzerland, Austria or any of the other privacy violating European Jurisdictions. Your name will not appear as the name of the account, just the number. We are conservative in our banking evaluations and these accounts are very secure and private. The bank is top notch. Multi currency accounts are available including USD, EURO, CAD, AUD, GBP and CHF plus other currencies. They speak english, french and spanish. They answer the phones, return emails, private bankers available and they have stock brokerage in all major markets and Forex.

Bank Secrecy – We are working with a Billion Euro European Bank in a secure European Bank Secrecy Country. They accept anonymous bearer share corporations from other jurisdictions. They allow trusts to be the beneficiary owner of the corporation, instead of you, yet you are still the signatory on the bank account. This bank is not suggested for citizens of the EU. They have some exchange of information treaties with other European Union states. We do suggest this bank for citizens of USA, Canada, Latin America, Asia and other places. Just not for Europeans. This is an old established (half a century old) private bank that is highly liquid in an extremely secure european country.

How Does a Numbered Bank Account Work – Instead of the account having your name as the name of the bank account, it uses a number only. Normally, you would have say a corporation and have the account in the name of the corporation. With a corporate account the wires coming in and going out have the name of the corporation, not your name. With a numbered account it is better. Numbered bank account records are only accessible by a few top management personnel at the bank, so there is some advantage right there.

The SWIFT, ABA and IBAN wire systems require a beneficial owner to be listed in the wire instructions. So sending wires to and from a numbered account can be problematic. You can have a numbered corporate account using an anonymous bearer share corporation. To send and receive wires you insert the name of the anonymous corporation in the beneficiary owner field of the wires. This reveals nothing since the names of the owners of this corporation are not in any database or registry anywhere, yet satisfies the wiring requirements of the various wire systems.

Then we can have a second non corporate numbered account. What this numbered account is used for is to receive funds transferred inside the bank. You send and receive international wires through your anonymous corporation numbered account. The name of the anonymous corporation appears in the wire information only, not your name. The anonymous corporations we use will not have the name of the owners of the bearer shares in any public registry or database. The government of the country that issued the corporation does not even know who owns the corporation. So wires are sent and received through the corporation bank account. Excess funds and savings are kept in the numbered account. The funds are transferred to and from the corporate account inside the bank, to and from the non corporate numbered account, with no external records of any wire transfers. No one knows about the non corporate numbered account unless you tell them. There is no wire trail to follow. The numbered account can have a visa or mastercard tied to the numbered account as well. See the card section below to see how this works to preserve your privacy. The numbered account is another defensive tactic in the asset protection arena. Today one does need all the help they can get. There are prison sentences awaiting violators of bank secrecy in this country including bank and government officials. With the numbered accounts the amount of people that can access the ownership records is very restricted. It is very secure and private.

Trusts, Anonymous Bearer Share Corporations and Numbered Accounts – There is a way to use all these asset protection tools to really keep your hard earned assets safe and secure. What is done is a Belize Trust is set up to be the owner of a Belize Anonymous Bearer Share Corporation which has a bank account in the bank. You are not the owner of the corporation. On the bank account the trust is listed as the beneficiary owner of the bank account, not you. You are still the signatory on the bank account. You are the only signatory on the corporate bank account. The trust owns the bearer shares of the corporation but has no bank account. You can be a beneficiary of the trust, other persons can be beneficiaries, corporations and trusts can also be beneficiaries. So now you have a corporate bank account you are not the owner of, yet you are the signatory on this account. This is an extremely hard scenario to find anywhere in the world, let alone in a high quality bank, in a secure sound jurisdiction. To make things more secure we can have another non corporate numbered bank account also in place at the same bank. This enables you to transfer funds to and from the corporation to the numbered bank account. All wires received and sent go through the corporate account. The transfers to the numbered account are internal inside of the bank with no external wire trails. No one will know the numbered account exists unless you tell them. This is the ultimate in banking security. There is nothing more secure anywhere in the world.

This is an incredibly secure structure. Combine this with the fact that the jurisdiction is lacking Mutual Legal Assistance Treaties, Double Tax Treaties, Tax Information Exchange Agreements (They have these with EU only), No Offshore Derived Income Tax, No Inheritance Tax, and No Capital Gains Tax on bank interest.

Offshore Bank Issued Visa and MasterCard – The bank does issue Visa and MasterCards with corporation names only on the card. No personal names on the card or in the magnetic strip. They have a great card program. If the Visa card is tied to a corporate account, ONLY the corporate name appears on the card. If it is a numbered account then the persons name appears BUT we could use the abbreviated short form for security. If the persons name is Bruce G. Stillwater, the card can read Bruce G.S. Or it could read B. Stillwater. You could have a corporate numbered account and that way get the card with only the anonymous bearer share corporation name on the card. The important thing is that the name of the owners of the anonymous bearer share corporation could not be looked up in any public registry or database. You sign the back of the card so the store owner can compare the signature to say your driver license. You could use a first initial and last name. The signature on the back of the card does not go into any computer database. The bank also has debit cards good for the ATM machines and point of sale pin number entered purchases only.
