Convenient day-to-day banking

Banking offshore with Barclays means that you can:

• Hold multiple accounts and transact in different currencies

• Take advantage of potential financial planning opportunities with advice from your independent financial advisor

Security and stability

As the economy and currency of some countries can be unstable, it can be wise to place your wealth in a secure financial haven offshore.

At Barclays, you can choose to bank offshore in the Isle of Man, Jersey, Gibraltar or London. Each of these financial centres has offered well-regulated and secure locations in which to protect and manage your wealth for many years. If your offshore banking requirements involve large sums of money, Barclays International Private Banking can offer you an even greater choice of countries in which to base your banking.
