How to Open a Bank Account in Belize<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Here\u2019s everything you need to know to open an offshore bank account in Belize. Plant your financial flag abroad without leaving the comfort of your living room.<\/p>\n

Belize<\/a> isn\u2019t the biggest or most well known of the offshore banking jurisdictions\u2026 and that\u2019s just how they like it. Let Switzerland, Singapore and Hong Kong take the heat and leave Belize banks alone.<\/p>\n

Belize banks focus on tax-compliant international investments, rock-solid asset protection, and privacy from civil creditors. That\u2019s all to say if you want to go offshore \u201cthe right way,\u201d and without a target on your back, Belize is the place to be.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how to open an offshore bank account in Belize\u2026 from your living room\u2026 and why you want one.<\/p>\n

Opening a bank account in Belize is relatively <\/i>easy. You can prepare all of the documents at home, submit them for review by email, and then by courier after the account has been approved.<\/p>\n

I say relatively easy because doing anything offshore is more challenging than here at home. In the good ole U.S. of A, all you need is a driver license and you\u2019ll have an account in 10 minutes. No supporting documents or proof required.<\/p>\n
