An online offshore bank operates in a jurisdiction which favors a tax free environment. These types of accounts also offer a number of other advantages that include privacy, asset protection and the existence of a stable legal framework. One of the best advantages of having an offshore bank is the availability of international debit cards which can be operated anywhere in the world and requires minimum identification details. Possessing an offshore debit card offers many advantages like convenience, flexibility and privacy. With the help of these cards, one can access the account from anywhere in the world. It allows the customers to deal with large sums of money without undergoing any painstaking procedures. All this can be done without compromising on the privacy.

Since the introduction of security checks I have found it all but impossible to open a UK account and yes, I am English, white 65 and debt free. Offshore make no such fuss and is the only option, these accounts are used by foreigners in the UK for the same reason.
