If you’re looking into using private banking services to move some of your wealth or assets, then you know that it can be an overwhelming process, not to mention a complicated one. Sought-after jurisdictions such as Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Malta can be particularly difficult to get set up in. 

Why are more and more individuals and companies moving forward with international banking services? There are many reasons why this is a common route many entities are taking:

1. Tax Optimization:  Depending on the tax laws of the country where the money is held, moving the money to a different country can result in lower taxes or even tax exemptions. A private bank can help the individual identify tax-efficient jurisdictions and structures for their wealth management.

2. Asset Protection:  Moving money to a different country can offer greater protection against political, economic or legal risks. This is especially important for individuals who are concerned about the stability of their home country's financial system or political regime.

3. More Privacy:  Some individuals may want to keep their financial affairs private for personal or business reasons. A private bank can provide a high level of confidentiality and discretion in managing their clients' wealth.

4. Diversifying Your Portfolio:  Investing in different countries can reduce risk and provide access to a wider range of investment opportunities. A private bank can help the individual access these opportunities and manage their investment portfolio.

It's important to note that moving money to a different country via a private bank requires careful planning and consideration of the legal and regulatory requirements of both the home and destination countries. Clear and comprehensible Source of Funds and Source of Wealth documentation must be provided. This is why it helps to have Citizen Lane there to guide you along the way.
