The BVI banking sector
Healy Consultants Summary View

BVI does implement FATCA regulations, however does not require the disclosure of the beneficial ownership of each corporate bank account opened in the BVI.

Details of the directors and shareholders of a BVI company are not publicly available.

Opening non resident accounts for BVI continues to be challenging. Overall Healy Consultants Group recommends not to setup companies which have activities that can be considered high risk by the banks such as (crypto, oil and gas, gold and precious metal trading)

Before setting up a corporate bank account for a BVI company, our Clients should be aware that:
- British Virgin Islands is a well-regulated and very popular jurisdiction where companies are being formed and managed in large numbers for all manner of international business purposes. However the banking options in BVI are relatively less and very few cater to International Business.
- In many banks account opening through an approved intermediary (like us) is still often possible without personal appearance of the owner of the company in the bank, however most banks do require personal visit of the beneficial owner before the account opening – or shortly after.
