I am a bit spooked by the state of the eurozone economy, this country, our public finances, and the seeming incompetence of the governement.
I am thinking of opening up an offshore account, possibly in the Isle of Mann (due to their investor compensation scheme) denominated in Euro, for the purposes of giving some of my savings a safe home. I have about 50k to deposit.
Can anyone recommend a bank? account type? it will be primarly a savings type of account.
The Bank only accepts customers who are of sound mind and who
meet our application eligibility requirements
1.2 In particular accounts are not available to residents of certain
countries."
so unless you're bonkers, you should be able to open an account with them !
