* GROSS RATE – The contractual rate of interest payable before deduction of income tax at the rate specified by law.

** AER RATE – AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and is the notional rate which illustrates the gross rate as if it was paid and compounded once each year. As every advertisement for a savings product will contain an AER you can compare more easily what return you can expect from your savings over time.

Offshore private banking can benefit you if:

  • You have a significant amount of money to invest
  • You spend a lot of time abroad
  • You work outside of your home country
  • You are an expat living abroad

Advantages of offshore private banking can include:

  • Potentially higher returns on your investment
  • Lower or no taxation (but you may be liable to pay tax in your home country)
  • Send and receive money in other currencies
  • Bank in a currency of your choice (usually Euros, Sterling or US Dollars)
