Bank account in country with bank secrecy

[donkraft]

Hi

I hope this is the right place to ask - if not, please point me in the right direction, thanks. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I am looking to get a new bank account outside my home country.

Requirements:
- Bank secrecy
- Safe (ie. Uganda and Burma is out of the question)
- Homebank access
- VISA/Mastercard or a debitcard usable all around the world.

I am Danish (the nation, not the pastry), 30yo, if that matters.

I will be depositing like 10.000USD to start with - or more if nescessary.

Any advice on where to go, what bank to select etc?

Thanks in advance

I suggest FBME bank where you can get a dollar/euro/pound account with a Visa card; it's based in Cyprus.

Swiss bank accounts are known for their secrecy and quality. also, Switzerland is known for being a very stable country. I've heard recently that bank accounts in Luxembourg are becoming popular because they are similar to Swiss Bank accounts but not as well known. I would check interest rates in both countries. hope this helps

Post 9/11 there is not as much secrecy.
