There are a few other issues related to Seychelles offshore banking that every one wants answers to and I am mentioning them below:

1. Due Diligence

To open a corporate account for an offshore company, all reputable banks including those providing Seychelles offshore banking, will require detailed personal and business information from the owners and controllers of the offshore account.

* Identify the actual beneficial owner of the offshore company. All owners and controllers of the IBC, as well as everyone who will be granted account signatory rights, need to be properly identified and have to provide a number of documents, such as

- a certified passport copy,

- a bankers and/or professional reference,

- a detailed business description and

- a cash flow forecast.

These requirements may vary in details, but their general scope remains fairly similar to most offshore banks, not just in Seychelles offshore banking.

Utilizing appointed directors and nominee shareholders is certainly helpful in respect of avoiding unnecessary public scrutiny, however these confidentiality functions are fairly irrelevant in Seychelles offshore banking account openings.

Any bank will primarily be interested to establish the actual, real owners of the company, and will not be satisfied by merely getting the data on appointed managers or representatives.

2. Anonymous accounts at Seychelles offshore banking?

There is no such thing as 'anonymous accounts'! All banks are required by law to know their clients in very comprehensive detail.

While account introduction through an approved intermediary (like us) is still possible without the personal appearance of the owner of the company, banks still want to know their clients and their business dealings in great detail. This is simply required by the laws, that have become stricter after 9/11, that regulate banking industry and there are no exceptions.

3. Seychelles offshore banking secrecy

While the banks are required to know their clients in detail, banking secrecy remains a fundamental cornerstone in all offshore financial centres, and certainly in Seychelles! The banking secrecy regulations stipulate that all information relating to the client must remain strictly confidential.

Any confidential banking and personal information may only be divulged if demanded so by a Seychelles court ruling. Such ruling, naturally, would have to be based on extremely serious circumstances under the applicable criminal laws in Seychelles, and following a proper criminal investigation, carried out domestically in Seychelles.

Information sharing, reporting or any kind of release of confidential banking information to any foreign party or foreign government is strictly prohibited. Severe financial and criminal penalties await anyone who divulges client information, and is applicable to both the bankers and the registered agents.
