Dominica International Bank License

The Commonwealth of Dominica is a stable, democratic nation located in the West Indies. A member of the Commonwealth, Dominica shares strong ties with both the United Kingdom and United States despites its small size, with the U.S. dollar being widely accepted on the island. Dominica offers strong corporate structures and is world renowned for its policies regarding privacy of corporate ownership.

As an offshore financial services center, Dominica has established itself in the areas of banking and payment services. Since the mid-late 1990’s the government of Dominica has continued to pass legislation ensuring that the country remains competitive on the world stage for ease of conducting business – including levying zero tax on offshore profits. For such reason, many significant international banks continue to maintain a presence in Dominica.

The Commonwealth of Dominica is an ideal location for the formation of an offshore bank. Dominica offers an International Bank License which covers all related banking activities, including accepting deposits and issuing debit cards. The licensure is recognized world-wide and is both cost effective and can be acquired quickly.

Advantages of a Dominica Banking License

In recent years, increasingly complex regulation and an erosion of financial privacy rights in major financial centers such as the United States and European Union have continued to drive the offshore banking industry. Billions of dollars are kept on deposit in offshore banks, even as certain jurisdiction have increased their focus on Anti-Money Laundering controls – which has only enhanced the legitimacy of offshore banking. However, with this industry push towards great transparency has come a tremendous market opportunity to start an offshore bank as the majority of banks have stopped accepting international and/or traditional high-risk banking clients.
