One of the least well known pearls of the Latin American part of the world is the city of Panama. Currently experiencing a construction boom that has over 450 skyscrapers being built or in the process of acquiring permits to build. Panama has long attracted international shipping companies due to the Panama canal and Colon free trade zone but more and more investors and businessmen are finding out about offshore banking and company formation in Panama and realizing they have some of the best advantages available in the world today to protect privacy.<\/p>\n

Panama has become the most modern and successful country in Latin America and its international banking center can be described in a similar fashion. The country recently enacted legislation that meets the exacting standards for transparency and regulation, and this obviously was the appeal for the 85+ banks from 35 different countries that can be found in Panama.<\/p>\n

Panama has also become an industry leader in the banking and financial sectors in that they have announced their support of the FATF and OECD movements. Implementation of measures to combat money laundering and terrorist funding activities occurred due to these measures .<\/p>\n

Deposits and withdrawals of large amounts of money are now reported under the newer tighter control system but it should be noted that the banking secrecy and privacy laws in Panama are the strongest in the world. So long as you are not wiring in funds from illegal activity you have nothing to fear by banking in Panama.<\/p>\n

Panama became very aware that it had to start “cleaning up its image” several years ago, and as a result, they went on a mission to enhance that image and implement the improvements necessary to make them a major player in the offshore banking market. Knowing your customers more thoroughly includes tighter reference requirements as well as fund origination.<\/p>\n

Panama has climbed to the top of the offshore banking world and is arguably right behind Switzerland in popularity now. Switzerland gets all the spotlight and Panama is just fine with that. Panama continues to enforce it’s banking secrecy laws with vigor as they know their international reputation depends on it.<\/p>\n

Banking in Panama provides the offshore banking client of all of these aspects whether it is for their offshore corporation or for personal accounts as well. Additionally, the different government agencies have become very active in the fight against financing organized crime and terrorist activities, as well as the prevention of money laundering for these purposes. This also benefits the offshore clients in knowing that their transactions will always be safe and secure since Panama is known to cooperate with authorities for major crimes.<\/p>\n

The government has become very proactive in these areas, and continues to create and implement legislation that enables banking in Panama to continue to excel in the international financial industry.<\/p>\n
