We have several options for your
EUROPEAN bank account:
We realize that for business or
personal reasons many people require particularly discreet and confidential
banking and we think that the numbered (otherwise known as: coded and custody)
accounts that we offer our clients are the best available in the Western
World. Brief details are given below and all offer tax free offshore banking
and full on-line management of the account.

Restrictions: This is not available to US citizens.

SWITZERLAND
Opening deposit: US$ 50.000
This account is with
an exclusive Bank based in Geneva. It offers banking facilities (including a
numbered account) to individuals and corporations of serious financial
substance who want the best that Swiss banking can provide in terms of
confidentiality and security, including a high rate of interest on deposited
funds. As with most Swiss banks, this bank is not geared for heavy commercial
use but transfers to and from the account three or four times a week are
perfectly acceptable. Accounts can be opened by mail but for expediency and
added security reasons, a senior official of the bank will meet the
prospective clients at the airport and take them to the bank where the opening
formalities can be completed in a matter of about two hours. This latter
course is highly recommended and we are able to make the necessary
arrangements.
Serious enquiries only please.
Apart
from numbered / custody / coded accounts, the Bank offers "normal" personal
and corporate accounts together with full banking services that one expects
from a Bank of this standing.

SCANDINAVIA
Here there is a
choice of two Banks; One has been established for nearly a century and the
other is also well established and has strong British connections. Their
respective account opening requirements differ slightly but are relatively
basic and, again, should not present a problem to a person who holds a valid
passport or driving licence. These accounts can be coupled to an anonymous
A.T.M Card which can be used to withdraw funds from virtually any cash machine
anywhere in the World.
SPANISH BANK ACCOUNT
This is with an old and well
established Bank. Accounts are available for individuals and corporations
Worldwide and the opening formalities are quite minimal. Accounts can be
managed on-line and a full range of A.T.M and Credit Cards is available.
This account is an ideal "companion" for an offshore company (provided it is
not incorporated in Spain. It should, also, be of interest to U.K and other
Nationals who own property in Spain which they rent out.
Our introduction fee is: $500
LUXEMBOURG - option I
Opening deposit: US$ 30.000
This is with a
subsidiary of an established German Bank which is based in Berlin and the
coded / custody account offered is probably the only one available in the
European Union. As with Switzerland, banks in Luxembourg are subject to the
strictest possible confidentiality laws and regulations.
Accounts can be
opened by mail and, although as is to be expected, some due diligence is
necessary, this is not excessive or too intrusive and it should not present
any problem to a person who holds a valid passport and has an established
address.
Luxembourg as well as Swiss banks are really
only investment banks and do not provide full banking services or on-line
management of an account. Also, accounts are not geared to commercial use and
usually only 2/3 transactions per week are allowed.
LUXEMBOURG
option II
Opening deposit: US$ 30.000
The Duchy of Luxembourg is noted for
the efficiency of its financial institutions and banking system and its strict
confidentiality regulations which are guaranteed by National Law. It is the
ideal Country in which an offshore corporation or a private individual should
hold an bank account. We are able to introduce clients to one of the oldest
and largest Banks in the Duchy which has connections and corresponding
arrangements with other major banks Worldwide. The Bank offers the usual
banking services and, of course, on-line banking facilities.
The requirements for opening such accounts are as follows:-
(1) Corporate:
(a) A copy of the Memorandum and Articles of Association.
(b) An extract from the meeting of the decision making body e.g: The Board of
Directors, formally authorising the company/corporation to open an account and
nominating the individual (s) to operate such account on its behalf.
(c) A certified copy of the identity card/passport of the individual(s)
referred to in (b)
The documents are sent directly to the Bank and upon receipt, the Bank will
forward an application for completion and return. The account will then be
opened. The process takes about 14 days. Alternatively, the documents can be
sent to us and we shall be pleased to act as intermediaries to the
satisfaction of the client and the Bank.
(2) Private:
We will provide a copy of the Bank’s questionnaire. This merely requires the
client to give his/her personal data and it is not too detailed or intrusive.
The questionnaire is sent to the Bank and, again, upon receipt the bank will
forward an application for completion and return. This process also takes
about 24 days. If the client prefers he/she can send the questionnaire to us
and, again, we shall be pleased to act as intermediaries.
Our introductory fee is: $500 for any of the above accounts except the
USB Swiss Bank
Interested clients are invited to e.mail us, without obligation, with any
queries that they may have which we shall be pleased to answer. If the client
decides to proceed then the introductory fee should be paid as indicated
here and the requirements for opening
an account as set out above, carried out or as may be otherwise agreed.
