Banking
Everyone needs banking services, and 'offshore' provides
lots of extra options, whether you invest there or live there. Nowadays
of course if your bank provides Internet banking, as almost all of them
do, you may not need to change your bank simply because you go offshore.
But if you live offshore, you may find that local banks will offer you
services such as lending which your 'legacy' home bank may not be willing
to provide.
Then there is the question of private banking. Despite recent
horror stories emanating from Switzerland, Germany and Italy, if you stick
to the rules there is plenty to be gained from personalized banking. If
you have been subject to the strait-jacket forced on you by 'high-street'
banks, you will be amazed at the flexibility and level of service provided
by 'private' banks.
