An offshore bank account is a bank account that is located outside of an individual's country of residency. This type of bank account is different from a domestic bank account in several ways, including:
- Jurisdiction: An offshore bank account is subject to the laws and regulations of the country where it is located, which may differ from the laws and regulations of the individual's home country.
- Privacy: Offshore bank accounts offer a higher degree of privacy compared to domestic bank accounts. This is because the laws and regulations of some offshore jurisdictions offer greater confidentiality for bank account holders.
- Taxation: The taxation rules for offshore bank accounts may be different from those for domestic bank accounts, and can offer opportunities for tax optimization.
- Currency diversity: Offshore bank accounts allow individuals to hold and manage funds in a variety of currencies, providing greater currency diversification.
- Accessibility: Some offshore bank accounts offer access to a wider range of financial products and services compared to domestic bank accounts.
