Austria is one of the world’s best kept financial secrets.  The privacy of banking is protected by Austrian law and the country offers access from the euro-zone to the rapidly growing economies of Eastern Europe.

Austrian Money Secrets shows you how to use an Austrian bank account as a starting point for access to investment opportunities not only in Austria but throughout the world. You'll also learn what it's like to live in Austria and how you can qualify for residency.

In this book you will find out:

That minimums for opening an Austrian bank account are among the lowest in the world; most non-Austrian investments made by non-residents through an Austrian bank do not attract Austrian taxes.  Austrian banks are safe, with strict internal controls, and investments are covered by a deposit guarantee scheme.
 You can't use your Austrian bank account for criminal purposes, but in all other situations, strict Austrian secrecy laws, with the same legal status as the Austrian Constitution, ensure that no information about your account is released without your authorization. You can use an Austrian bank account to purchase any stock, bond or mutual fund, almost anywhere in the world and in addition Austrian Banks offer outstanding private banking services, including portfolio management. Accounts can be set up in any freely traded currency.

Mark Nestmann will also introduce you to the other significant advantages of Austrian bank accounts:

The asset protection advantage. In Austrian courts, the loser must pay the winner's legal bills, courts can't award punitive damages in civil disputes and all relevant documents must be translated into German by an official translator. And, there is no automatic recognition or enforcement of U.S. civil judgments.

The euro advantage. Austria uses the euro as its official currency, giving it unrivaled access to the markets of the other members of the euro block, Combine this with first-class Austrian banking services and you'll find unparalleled access to markets throughout the EU and Central and Eastern Europe.

The neutrality advantage. Austria's constitution guarantees permanent neutrality in international disputes. This makes Austria an unlikely target for terrorism and possible disruption of its financial markets.
