Offshore Banks that Pay INTEREST on Deposits

[GeneralGogol]

So it seems we are living in a new world where money actually has a price! And the news has hit some offshore banks.

I've started making a list of banks that pay interest rates for deposits\idle balances:

1. CIM Banque (Switzerland): 4.50% in USD for 12 months deposit and 2.25% on EUR.
   
   

   Swiss Deposit account: Safe & efficient money investment

   Fixed Rate Deposits Account, Fixed rate deposits for 1, 3, 6 or 12 months at CIM Bank, your Private Bank in Geneva since 1990, Switzerland

   www.cimbanque.com
   Not sure it's such a good deal as the money is placed in a 3rd party bank.
2. Interactive Brokers: 2.58% on idle USD balances
3. Robinhood paying 2-3% on idle USD balances (only US citizens)
4. WealthFront paying around 3% on idle USD balances (only for US citizens)

Feel free to contribute to the thread by commenting and help extend this list.

HSUV.U (Horizons USD Cash Maximizer) ETF on TSX has a 3.46% yield currently, it accumulates instead of distributing (capital gains tax are more tax-convenient than distributions for Canadian residents)

Horizons USD Cash Maximizer ETF - Horizons ETFs

HSUV.U seeks to generate modest capital growth by investing primarily in high interest U.S. dollar deposit accounts with Canadian banks
