Why choose the Bahamas?

The word ‘Bahamas’ refers to a group of 700 islands in the Caribbean. New Providence is considered the main island, as the capital city of Nassau is located there. The geographical location makes the country a convenient platform for international investments and business operations, particularly in the Western Hemisphere.

The jurisdiction has been one of the world’s largest financial centers for approximately 80 years. The financial sector contributes up to 36% of the national GDP. One-third of the top 100 global banks are present here. All major banks have a branch in the country, giving you access to global financial markets.

The Bahamas offers a unique combination of financial privacy, tax advantages, and international credibility. With no income, capital gains, or inheritance tax, and banking regulations modeled after top global standards, it’s no surprise that the Bahamas is often compared to Switzerland in terms of offshore prestige.

However, opening a bank account in the Bahamas is not simple without expert guidance. Banks must comply with strict AML (Anti-Money Laundering), KYC (Know Your Customer), and financial transparency rules. That’s where we come in.

The Bahamian bank we work with is among the most reputable institutions in the country.
To maintain its global status, the bank only serves clients with transparent, legitimate operations.

If your company is engaged (or planning to engage) in international business, a Bahamian corporate bank account is an essential part of your structure. You can open it remotely. Our experts will support you at every step—from paperwork to approval.
