Offshore banking... where and what banks?

[Gregory Diehl]

Whether for business or personal use, there are a lot of good reasons to diversify your banking. I'm a full time traveler who has planted in flags in several countries, including the incorporation of my business, my residency, citizenship, property ownership, and bank accounts. I'm also an American, so that limits my options a bit. But off the top of my head, the best offshore banking options (meaning those that are outside the EU, easiest to open/use, and could be considered secure) include:

Singapore (if you're not American)
Hong Kong (ditto)
Georgia (TBC Bank opened two accounts for me in one visit with nothing but my passport)
Belize (can be done remotely)

What else would you suggest?

Luxmbourg

I'd say Serbia. If I remember, it just needs a passport.
