High rates and plenty of choice

Article Abstract:

UK investors have a wide range of products on offer at offshore centers. Building societies offshore tend to give better rates than banks. Deposit bonds are being launched by life insurers and banks. Investors should assess their need to have access to funds and whether they require cheque books and credit cards. Telephone banking is provided by most offshore banks. Charges and fees vary greatly from bank to bank. Investors with large sums should spend time assessing potential managers, and can do this through Ogier and Le Masurier, a law firm in Jersey.
