For your everyday offshore banking you need an international current account that's convenient, flexible and rewarding - an international bank account that gives you access to your money, wherever you are in the world.
You can hold a Gold account in sterling, euro or US dollar currencies, or a combination of two, or all three – whichever arrangement best suits your everyday needs.
Competitive offshore interest rates
Our offshore Gold account variable interest rates are tiered - the greater your balance, the higher your gross interest rate will be. As soon as your offshore account balance reaches the next threshold, the whole of your deposit automatically starts to earn the higher rate.
Visa deferred-debit card
Additionally, you can continue to earn interest every month by using your Visa deferred-debit card, which accompanies this account. For interest purposes, your Visa card transactions (except cash withdrawals) are only debited to your Gold account at the end of the month - so you can continue to earn interest on money you've spent for up to 30 days afterwards.
We have a choice of three deferred debit cards, Gold, Platinum and Visa Infinite.
Chequebook facility
We can supply you with a sterling chequebook to pay for non-Visa purchases on your sterling offshore Gold account.
Access your money any time, anywhereWith your card you can access your offshore Gold account funds directly:
- Pay for goods and services at over 21 million shops, hotels, restaurants, garages and other retail outlets worldwide.
- Obtain cash from bank branches and machines in over 300 countries and territories worldwide - there are over 800,000 Visa cash machines worldwide at your disposal.
Gold account minimum balance
The minimum balance for the account – as well as the level of benefits you receive – depend on your choice of deferred-debit card, as the table below shows.
