Personal Offshore Accounts – your questions answered:

1. Do I need to come to the bank in person to open an account?

In some cases you will need to attend the bank in order to complete the account opening process, this will depend on the bank and the jurisdiction. However, for many jurisdictions, such as Switzerland, Mauritius, St Vincent etc, you can leave most of the work to our expert team and enjoy the benefit of remote application.

The whole procedure can be completed online and via courier (apart from a few exceptions).

2. Can I have a bank account with multiple currencies?

Once the bank account has been opened, you can choose a multi-currency account. This will allow you to keep several currencies in the same account. When a new currency is used, the bank will automatically open a "sub-account" so that you do not have to pay any exchange fees.

3. What documents are required to obtain approval?

This works on a case by case basis, however in most cases we only require a photo copy of identification and proof of address document in order to start our search and obtain pre-approval.

4. How long will it take to open my account?

After submitting all required documents to the bank, the bank will conduct a compliance check. Generally, the bank account can be approved and activated in 7-14 working days, depending on the bank of your choice.

5. What countries can you offer accounts in?

Some of our most popular jurisdictions include the Isle of Man, British Virgin Islands, United Arab Emirates, Belize, Delaware, Hong Kong, Singapore, Ireland, Cyprus, Cayman Islands, Malaysia, Cook Islands, Panama, St Lucia and Latvia. However Devonhirst can arrange offshore accounts in more than 25 jurisdictions and can also source accounts in countries upon request.

6. How can I use the funds in my offshore account?

As with any other bank account, the funds of your offshore personal bank account will be accessible through credit/debit cards, cheques, internet banking or withdrawal at the bank.
