International banking is no longer simply about choosing a country and opening an offshore account.

Banks increasingly evaluate the complete client profile: citizenship, residence, tax residence, source of wealth, business activity and expected transactions.

In Episode 7 of PLAN B, Wilson Gomez examines the reality of international banking compliance and explains why a coherent financial profile matters more than simply accumulating accounts in different countries.

In this episode:

• What international banks need to understand about their clients
• Tax residence and the Common Reporting Standard — CRS
• The difference between CRS and FATCA
• Source of wealth and source of funds
• Why inconsistent information can create compliance problems
• Banking diversification versus simply having multiple accounts
• Privacy versus secrecy
• Building an international banking structure that can survive routine compliance reviews

International banking remains an important part of a PLAN B — but modern international banking is built around transparency, documentation and consistency.

The objective is not to hide.

The objective is to build legitimate financial relationships across jurisdictions so that you are not completely dependent on a single bank, country or financial system.
