Which non-CRS country would you recommend for a bank account ?

The only “country” that will never sign up is Northern Cyprus , they don’t even care where the money is coming from .. I just answered my own question :)
have been there and I would personally not bank there if it is possible at all.

How about just NOT evading taxes? Then there would be no problems with CRS.
Yeh but what if you live in a country ruled by thieves, criminal gangs. This is the way most people in the world live. They pay tax and it ends up buying expensive homes in London. A guy just trying to make an honest living and supporting his family has his money stolen. That is why some try to evade paying tax. What is wrong with that?

Decent banking options in a non-CRS country ?

still safe this strategy from the tax man ?
I would not recommend you to open a bank account in non-CRS countries at all. If you look at this list, you can understand that these countries are not respectable from the point of view of the banking sphere. If you still want to save money on taxes, then choose a jurisdiction with a loyal tax burden (Cyprus, Hong Kong). Estonia is loyal to IT startups too.
 
No , not yet , I will go there to check things out

here some interesting info, there are more than 10000 british expats living there , creditwest bank even has an expat division

So, did you go?
What's your experience with banking in Northern Cyprus?
Are you satisfied?
Do you feel that your money is secured?

Just to add, I know about one specific subject at the TRNC bank market – Turkish Bank Group. Native at TRNC (established 1901), having member banks at TRNC, Turkey and UK as well – and having as a member Allied Turkish Bank IBU Ltd <=> dedicated offshore bank. Seems interesting; but honestly – I'd be afraid of political instability (in the long-term perspective) of TRNC.

And just for the record, there is also a branch of Halkbank at TRNC. (Halkbank is at Northern Macedonia, too; and AFAIK they are open to non-residents.)
