What offshore bank is the most secure to deposit large amounts?

[drillbill]

For large amounts of money to be deposit for some time' date=' say 1 or 2 years I would look at Bank of Cyprus and Standard bank Mauritius. Both banks I trust so I can find reviews, comments and much more about them back to 2008.[/quote']
Will vote for the same banks and offshore jurisdictions. Good additional banks are Anguilla Bank and there is one in the Bahamas which name I don't remember at the time speaking.

It doesn't matter how big a bank is, but how must risk they are taking. A bigger bank doesn't mean a safer one. The most safe banks are the ones that doesn't lend out any of your money. Compared to most of them that do put your cash at risk. You can't find too many of those really good banks around, but they do still exist.

I agree, despotior insurance is another point I have been looking at. I don't deposit more than 100k Euro in each bank, so I'm sure I always have my money if things should go wrong again!

Doesn't all banks lend money? that's why banks exists or don't you think that

That's actually why the banks are born. However, there are banks that are better to lend money to corporations than others. See the financial crisis annon 2008!

Yeah, a few of the good banks that I found are Bank Of Cyprus and CIM bank, the latter is tuff to get an account with. I have a friend who is right now in Switzerland to try his luck with this bank!

I send you a PM... the banks in Belize only accept USD atm. I spoke with one that told me they will soon accept GBP and EUR again.. wonder what is going on there!??
