Open an IBC in Nevis and a Corporate Bank Account in Antigua and Barbuda

Registering an International Business Company (IBC) in Nevis with a corporate bank account in Antigua and Barbuda is a golden standard in the offshore business world. With our professional assistance, you can quickly establish a company and set up a bank account in the Caribbean. If you apply for Offshore Pro Group assistance, we will spare you the trouble of visiting either of the two countries.

Nevis is a classic offshore business center

Registering an offshore company in the jurisdiction of Nevis is an opportunity attractive for the complex of advantages that it can bring. Nevis-based IBCs have been popular with entrepreneurs from various parts of the world for a great number of years. It is extremely important to be able to open a bank account for your offshore company and this opportunity is available in Antigua and Barbuda.

An International Business Company in Nevis enjoys maximum preferences and extensive support from the local Government. We would also like to draw your attention to the possibility of registering an offshore trust in Nevis. This business structure can help you protect your wealth and provide a secure future for your heirs. An offshore trust can also contribute to optimizing the operations of a group of offshore companies.  

Advantages of registering an offshore IBC that you can find in Nevis 

• A well-thought-out legislation that supports and stimulates company registration by foreign nationals. It also efficiently protects Nevis-based companies and trusts serving asset diversification purposes extremely well.
• Nevis is off the black and grey lists of uncooperative countries compiled by European and American authorities. Thus, you are not going to have any problems related to the ongoing de-offshorization campaign if you register an IBC in this jurisdiction.
• You can get the maximum possible level of confidentiality in Nevis, especially if you register a company there in liaison with a trust. Please bear in mind, however, that full anonymity of Nevis IBC ownership is out of the question these days. The world is combating money laundering and tax evasion with all its might.
• The country is stable in all respects: political, economic, financial, international relations, and so on.
• When you work via your Nevis-based IBC, you don’t have to pay any local taxes provided that you obtain profits abroad and keep from transferring money to Nevis.  
• The beneficial owners of companies in Nevis can be citizens/ tax residents of (almost) any country. There are no requirements as to their personal presence on the island.
• The use of nominee services is legally allowed in Nevis.
• Nevis-based companies can be sued by Nevis courts of law exclusively and it costs a lot (100,000 USD) to file a claim against a company registered in the jurisdiction.
• When you have an International Business Company registered in Nevis, you can engage in any legal business activities.

Antigua and Barbuda is a modern offshore jurisdiction with a dynamically developing financial sector. The country is an active member of CFATF (Caribbean Financial Action Task Force).

Banks in Antigua and Barbuda are as attractive as large banks in Europe and Asia. They differ from the leading banks of the world in one aspect only: they don’t set the bar too high as far as their requirements to the clients are concerned. You won’t have many problems opening a bank account in Antigua and Barbuda for your Nevis-based offshore company.  

Main characteristics of the bank in Antigua and Barbuda

• Operating and savings accounts in USD, EUR, GBP, and CAD.
• Good reputation (30 years of successful operations).
• Globex Secure online banking system in use.
• Merchant acquiring services.
• Extended opportunities for wealth management including pension funds, financial planning (trusts, corporate structures), operations with securities, and so on.
• The bank has stable correspondence relations with many leading banks such as Bank of America and Deutsche Bank, among others.
• Your corporate account maintenance fee is going to be only 25 USD per month.

Bank tariffs for non-resident corporate clients

The cost of banking services that the Antiguan bank provides is comparatively low while the range of these services is quite large. Below please find the main tariffs, interest rates, and maintenance fees that the bank applies as well as the financial services that it provides.

At this point, we’d like to remind you about the opportunity to use nominee services and establish trusts. These can help you improve your chances for application approval.  
• UPI corporate prepaid card that can be used for personal and corporate transactions. A UnionPay card can hold several currencies in a single account and they can be converted instantly: no additional transactions or other banking operations are required.
