OFFSHORE BANK ACCOUNT

An offshore, or overseas, bank account is one that you have in a country you don’t reside in.

They allow you to make and receive payments, hold money and set up savings and investment accounts in multiple currencies.

Offshore accounts, also known as offshore bank accounts or offshore savings accounts, can make it simpler to manage your financial commitments across multiple countries and regions. They can be useful if you need to make, or receive, regular international payments and transfers.
