The problem with opening bank accounts as non-resident is that those banks will treat you poorly as a customer, like requiring high deposits, adding ridiculous fees just for non-residents (after the fact), or requiring you to appear in person to do something, and you can do nothing about it. For most people it is best to stick with a few different banks at their place of residence. I would only open an account abroad if I had a second residence / citizenship and could apply as a resident.

[@BlackLabelExpat]

I could not agree more. I also suggest having a on/off ramp to a digital non custoadial wallet just for stable coins. Not to hold long term but as a way to transfer value when geopolitics get in the way of markets

[@samschutt2343]

Could you suggest any?

[@VERTICALWisdom]

Great content - Thank you

[@OffshoreCitizen]

Always a pleasure! What are your thoughts on international banking?

[@jn3674]

As a US citizen, doesn't simply opening a foreign account automatically trigger additional IRS reporting requirements in addition to possible additional tax filings on any earnings in that account as well? These would both mean either paying a tax professional to help you get it correct, or creating even more problems for yourself. If you have a legit need for an offshore acct, absolutely. But just for "fun" or cheap "insurance"? Pass. Not cheap or insurance in reality.

[@mlgneo2855]

Yes. And it also puts that custodial government into your business to tax you for money coming in. It’s an absolute NO from me, I’ll keep my money in America and use an ATM 🏧

[@whenwasnow6062]

If you're US citizen and manage to get an account as a non resident (congrats), you must tell the tax lords if they all reach 100k (rule has more nuance). So, as Michael says, it's an escape door of sorts.

[@jimmccann3856]

World Economic Forum risk affects almost all depositors. Blackrock, for example, has an ambition of systematically converting home owners into renters. Other billionaires are working different dispossession strategies to be applied versus the masses. We might ultimately see, for example, large scale Bail-Ins of depositors to cover widespread derivative losses. Any comments?

[@lorenk.775]

😄😄 Just bcoz they may have certain ambitions doesn't mean they can achieve them how they want, and there are limits through laws and otherwise. and what do you mean by derivatives bail-in?

Out of curiosity, to ensure everything is legal before a setup of this magnitude is established. Is everything double checked with accountants and lawyers to ensure the “offshore citizen” is legal in their home country? ie: Canada?

[@OffshoreCitizen]

Absolutely

[@Matthew-be1nq]

If you're an American, you don't just open an offshore bank account. Uncle Sam hates you, and he hates you trying to save yourself. He requires all sorta of compliance with stiff penalties for non-compliance, and most banks won't even deal with you as a relative of Uncle Sam. Uncle Sam, like a controlling abusive pimp, wants to know everywhere you go, and everything you do, and everyone you talk to offshore. It's expensive to comply with Uncle Sam's nonsense. At this point in time, with current regulations and reporting requirements, the best a peasant can do is Bitcoin, Ether, or something like Tether. They're extremely strong offshore banks, and they can easily complete with any offshore bank. Exchanges worldwide become your new banks, and the crypto your bank credits. There can be all sorts of problems with banks in other countries. Don't kid yourselves. Very complicated for a peasant to navigate. The most daring peasants can take their Bitcoins and enshrine the wallets into offshore trusts, like a Cook Islands trusts. Nuclear grade protection.

Hey Michael! Fellow Canadian here. I was wondering what you think about opening an IBKR account in another country. The account offers up to 4.83% on USD with more than 10K. I already have one in Canada and was thinking of opening a 2nd one in another country. Your thoughts?

If you get a bank account in the US (as a non-resident foreigner), aren't you risking getting into the US IRS tax net? Meaning that you would get all the issues that come with that?

No, bank account has nothing to do with your tax residency

[@henry155]

Reporting Requirements: As a foreign account holder, you may be required to file certain forms with the IRS, such as Form 1042-S (Foreign Person's U.S. Source Income Subject to Withholding), which banks use to report interest paid to foreign persons.

You have to report your foreign accounts to your country of residence, so this is not a way to optimize your taxes. The taxes are not tied to a bank account, but your residence (unless you're a non-dom, which is a whole different story)

Also, I am not so sure if it is a good idea to get bank accounts in well known tax heaven jurisdictions (like Panama, Jersey, etc). It will just make you look shady even if you are clean. Maybe would be better to just setup bank accounts in less "flashy" countries (like Netherlands, Ireland, Uruguay, etc)?

[@matthewnirenberg]

In current times, simply having a bank account in another country makes you "shady" to govts and those who care. The truly shady people are the ones laundering billions by buying and selling art. That's how the "elites" launder money in the open whilst complying with AML/KYC.

Mr. Rosner's advice is far more sound because he focuses on what is practical and effective. The NC guy focuses on selling you a plan regardless of your needs or circumstances. This is the same 'plan' he sells everyone else.
