Best Singapore Banks for Offshore Banking? (EU citizen & resident)

I believe that these freezing mainly happens to UK banks like HSBC Jersey or HSBC UK.
I have never heard about a freezing at HSBC Singapore, HSBC Turkey or HSBC US.
HSBC Turkey also became crazy from 2025.

Probably the main reason is that they changed rules in Turkey and only two state owned banks can open accounts if you don't have Turkish residence permit/ citzenship. Ziraat and Vakiflar.

From this point HSBC Turkey started to be crazy with foreigners.

P.S $200k is fine if you got further income coming. Always say your opening to invest even if your not.

You can, but you need more money for them to be willing to accept you.

Also you don’t need a foundation for that amount.

1. Depends on citizenship and residence. 100,000 might be on the lower end of the scale.
2. Depends on how much money you're bringing and the risk profile of the company.

Very few banks will rule you out based on just the jurisdiction and type of entity. However, you have much more of an uphill battle if your company is incorporated in a typical tax haven and secrecy jurisdiction like BVI or Nevis. You need strong redeeming qualities.
