Why I need introducer to open a offshore bank account?

[doxs]

Can you pelase explain to me why you need a introduce to open a bank account offshore in some countries? For instant I called a bank in Cyprus and they told me they can't help, the refused to give any information nor wanted to tell me who their introducer is

As far as I know only Cyprus bank's require a introducer in order to open a bank account with them. Most other offshore jurisdictions take on clients from the street but they don't have the same level of privacy and anonymity most often.

So a introducer is only require to open a Cyprus bank not banks in other offshore jurisdictions?

 

[JohnLocke]

Yes all Cyprus bank's require a certified introducer in order to take on new customers. Some banks in other offshore jurisdictions have done the same while the majority take customers from the street.

Can you name some offshore banks who don't require a introducer so I may check them out?

You may approach the different offshore banks, there are hundreds around and most don't require a introducer.
