How to withdraw money from offshore bank account?


Question

How can I withdraw money I have saved in my offshore account and use it in my country of residence?

Answer

Customers can withdraw their money from offshore bank account in their country of residence with debit or credit card. When the client opens offshore bank account, he requests a VISA or MasterCard debit or credit card to make purchases or withdrawals of cash. Can I withdraw money at any ATM in my country of residence? Yes, 99.99% of ATMs accept VISA or MasterCard and you can withdraw cash without any problems. What fees will be charged to my card for each withdrawal? Depending on the jurisdiction where the bank account is opened, you may have higher or lower commissions. Normally the commissions that are charged for the withdrawal of money are from 2.5 to 3.50 euros per each 600 euros. 

Another way to have the money from your offshore bank account in your country of residence would be by bank wire transfer but note that if you transfer the money from a personal offshore account opened in your name to another personal bank account of yours the transfer gets registered in both banks. As a consequence, the tax authorities of your country of residence will know that the person who sends the money and the person who receives is the same one and you will be obliged to pay all the taxes for the income obtained in your offshore account. In order to avoid this situation we recommend opening a numbered account in Andorra or registering an offshore company so that the name of the person who sends the money does not appear. This way you can have the money from your offshore bank account in your country of residence and maintain your anonymity.

The most unusual way to have the money from the offshore bank account in your country would be to visit the bank and make a withdrawal in cash. Once you have your cash you can bring it to your country of residence. However, before choosing this option please check crossing boarder regulations for the limits of money in cash you can bring in to your country of residence.

Dear Rita, thank you for contacting us. 

Unfortunately, in this particular case we are not able to help you. You have to contact local layers who know the legislation of your country and banking laws. This kind of situations are not very common and have to be treated properly to avoid possible fraud.

Hi, I live in Germany and opened a online bank acc in USA, in order to get funds from my bf cause he couldn’t recieve it on his acc, because it’s frozen. And when I wanted to make transfer to my german acc they wanted me to do a security deposit, cause it’s my first transaction from my account which said from the bank. Just curious about that because the amount of security deposit is high and it is needed to get me an authentication code for my transfer. Is it even possible? Or the amounts am seeing in online is fake, could it be scam? Thank you.

Dear Muller. 

Each country and especially each bank has its own requirements set by the compliance department. If you are working with a merchant account and not a current account it is a common practice to ask for a security deposit. 

In other cases if you are operating with a regular current account usually you are not asked to withhold any additional funds. Try to transfer or withdraw smaller amount, may be than they will allow you to operate without any other security conditions.

It is actually checking online account and I want to make a first transfer. They emailed me : Please be informed that because you are trying to make a transfer from your online account for the first time, this is the reason why you are required to provide an activation code to verify your transaction. To receive the Authentication Code, you are required to make a security deposit of $25,500 USD before the code can be generated for you. But also know that once your transaction is successfully completed, the security deposit will be refunded to your account. Kindly send us an email when you are ready to deposit so that we send you the account information of one of our partner banks where you are to make the deposit. So this is confuses me, thanks for the reply.

Dear Múller. 

Did you check the credibility and authenticity of this financial entity? Is it a well known bank? Can you please share their SWIFT with us so that we can check if everything is correct with it?

You can get in touch with the bank and ask them for the SWIFT code. Also, you will need it anyways to make a transfer.

I have an offshore account. I withdrew some money from it on last Friday, January 15th. I was wondering, how long does it take to reach my bank account in America?

Dear Anthony. 

Regarding the terms of wire-transfers I have to say that it is quite relative. Usually, with all the technology that financial entities use the wire transfer should not take more than 3 days. However, in some cases, what can take time is an internal control that some banks do before they accept the money from other financial entity (especially offshore accounts) and deposit it on your account. 

In any case, if you don't hear anything from your bank in America within a week, we advise you to contact them and get informed about possible problems with the transfer.

Dear Charity, 

Thank you for getting in touch with our company. Usually the clients are not required to pay for incoming payments. What we can recommend you is to get in touch with customer service of your bank and leave a claim regarding this payment, asking for a better explanations of the reasons they want to charge you that amount.

If the situation doesn't get solved after that, we recommend you to contact any local lawyer.

Dear Hamza, 

In order to enjoy all the advantages of offshore bank account it should be opened in a jurisdiction different to your country of residence or the country of origin of funds.

If you decide to transfer your profit to your country of residence you have to declare it and pay tax. 

We would highly recommend you to contact a local Turkish lawyer who would advise you on tax regime in Turkey and why you were obliged to pay this amount without being a resident in this country. We hope you will be able to solve this issue.

I have a friend who has a predicament. She inherited a large sum of money from her deceased father but it is in an off-shore account. When she tried to get the money transferred to her bank account in the U.S., she got an email saying a very large amount of tax had to be paid before the money could be transferred. Unfortunately she does not have currently the means to pay this tax before receiving the money. What options does she have?

Dear Sunil, 

One of the options that you friend has is to open a personal account in another offshore jurisdiction, where she is not a fiscal resident and transfer the money there. Then, with ATM withdrawals she can use it little by little. However, depending on the nationality, her country might have an agreement of exchange of financial information with the country where she wants to open an account. Therefore, she should choose well before transferring her funds to any account. 

If she decides to transfer the funds to her country of residence, then yes, she will have to pay tax on this money in order to be able to use it legally.

Thank you for the above reply to my question. Based on that, my friend decided not to transfer the account back here but instead to get an ATM card for the account over there and use it that way. However her lawyer says she needs to obtain a "United Nations Clearance Certificate for Money Laundering" from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office which will cost her $ 21,000 before he can get her an ATM card. I THINK THIS IS A SCAM. Please advise. Regards, Sunil

Dear Sunil Sinha, 

It all depends on the county where your friend has decided to open a bank account with an ATM card attached to it. I can not speak for all jurisdictions, but normally, in majority of them, this certificate is not a requirement and especially such high commissions for it. 

At the same time, I don't have all the information about this inheritance and offshore account that her father had. I would highly recommend you to hire a lawyer to make sure that all the procedures are completed within a legal frame and without scam. 

Regards
