Expatriate banking and finance

If you want the best way to make the most of your money while living overseas, for 'expatriate banking' read 'offshore banking'. An offshore bank account could help provide you with security in relation to any financial and fiscal issues in your adopted country. It also provides you with the means to take advantage of the potential benefits of our international savings and investment products.

Expatriate tax advice from Ernst & Young

Sooner or later, all expatriates have questions about the tax implications of their expat status. For the answers, Barclays can provide referrals to our preferred tax advisers and global financial specialists, Ernst & Young, who can advise you on all aspects of personal taxation.

If required, Ernst & Young can appoint a personal tax adviser to guide you through the tax implications of your move overseas1.
