Offshore banking is simply banking in a jurisdiction other than the one in which you live. There may be some advantages to banking offshore, even if you're not currently living or working abroad.
Does your local bank offer all the services you need? Why not talk to us about your own situation, and we'll explain how offshore banking could help you?
Are you looking for a respected and well regulated home for your money? You can choose to bank offshore with the world's local bank for peace of mind.
The HSBC Group is a truly global organisation with about 10,000 offices in 76 countries and territories. Our offshore banking operation serves customers in over 200 countries world-wide.
We are based in Jersey, which is one of the world's major financial centres with over 12,500 professionals working in the finance and finance-related industries. You can rest assured that your money will be in safe hands.
Are you seeking higher returns on your savings?
We offer tiered interest rates - for example our Offshore Bank Account gives you all the flexibility and benefits of a current account, with the interest rates you'd expect from a savings account. We also offer notice accounts and fixed deposit accounts in a wide range of currencies for money you don't need in a hurry.
Do you live in your home country but spend time overseas? An offshore bank account in another currency may make your life easier. We also offer currency charge cards in Euro and US dollars to give you easier access to your money while abroad.
Would you like to invest in a foreign currency, or in foreign markets in your own currency? As our customers come from all over the world we are specialists in making investments in a number of currencies.
Are you looking for individual attention for yourself and your money? Customers who invest or save more than £60,000 or currency equivalent with us are eligible for our Premier service. With this service you are allocated your own dedicated Relationship Manager to advise you on your finances, as well as access to preferential rates and reduced bank fees.
There may be other advantages of banking offshore: These include asset protection and estate planning. We'd be happy to talk through these in more detail in the context of your own financial situation.
And if you decide to move abroad in future - through work, for example, or to retire to a warmer climate - you'll have an account set up that you can access from anywhere.
