Offshore Visa Account

Offshore Visa Cards are a product that interests many people.

The promise of the offshore credit card is the ability to leave your money safely offshore, while you still have immediate access to your money back home.

From the standpoint of the merchant, or ATM network, the bank card works identically to an onshore credit card.  The Offshore visa card is tied into the visa network and will be accepted at any merchant, bank machine or internet site that accepts visa in the ordinary course of business.

The offshore visa card can be either embossed or unembossed.  A Visa card that is unembossed will generally be a Visa Electron card.  This card will demand a PIN to operate usually, but comes with the extra advantage that your financial security is enhanced by the fact that ID is usually not required — however, no iD anonymous cards usually come with a lower daily and monthly limits.

Embossed Visa cards usually come with higher limits but may require the use of an ID when accessing your offshore money by paying for products or services.
