Access to your money
If you require access to your offshore savings without loss of interest, then our 'International Easy Access' account is the perfect account for you. It offers withdrawals without loss of interest. You can make withdrawals once the account opening procedures are complete. All we ask is that the minimum transaction made is £1,000.
This account is only available to private investors.
Interest payment
Interest rates are variable. Interest is credited annually on 15 March. Monthly interest is credited on the first day of the month. Interest is earned after 3 working days including the day we receive your cheque.
Please note that interest may be paid gross and it is your responsibility to declare all income to your tax authority.
Opening your offshore account
Existing SIL clients only need to complete an Additional Account Opening Form. New clients will need to complete an application form and supply relevant identification and proof of address documents. Offshore accounts may be opened by cheque, electronic transfer or BACS. Please note the minimum opening balance is £10,000.

Please instruct your bank to make the payment as early as possible in the day so that the funds reach our account before 12 noon, UK time. This should ensure that your funds earn interest from the day of receipt. Funds received after this time will start earning interest from the next business day. Please ensure you have received confirmation your new offshore account has been opened before sending funds to us. Also, please remember to read the 'Legal' section below and the Terms and Conditions of the relevant account before sending your money to us.
SIL will not accept any liability for delays in receipt of inward payments; agents' charges, where applicable, will be deducted from the amount credited to your account.
Funds received in any currencies other than that agreed will be converted to the appropriate currency at the prevailing rate of exchange at the time of the transaction.
*Gross means interest paid without the deduction of tax. Your tax treatment will depend on your individual circumstances and may be subject to change in the future.
**AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and added each year.
