Offshore savings accounts and instant access accounts
Offshore savings accounts and instant access offshore accounts from Barclays Wealth International
Offshore savings could give you the possibility of tax advantages and financial flexibility as well as competitive interest rates. There's a wide choice of offshore savings accounts from Barclays Wealth International to choose from. They include instant access savings accounts, and other offshore accounts that, while tying up your money for a little longer, also offer better potential returns.
Like all of our international banking services, our offshore savings accounts are easy to apply for and enjoy.
Offshore savings rates
All the Barclays Wealth International offshore savings accounts shown here offer varying rates, but all offer a secure home for your wealth:
Structured Deposits
Our Structured Deposits are medium-term savings (usually 3 or 5 years) which might give you higher returns than you'll get from traditional, cash-based offshore savings accounts. Returns are linked to the performance of an index such as the FTSE 100, so you could risk getting less interest or none. However, your original capital investment will always be repaid to you at the end of your structured deposit investment term.
Treasury Deposits
If you want a fixed rate of interest on your savings and don't mind your money being tied up for a fixed period of at least a month, a Treasury Deposit may be a good option. You can choose from a wide range of currencies and, once the deposit is opened, your interest rate remains fixed for the term of the deposit so you know exactly the rate of return you will get.
Liquidity Management Service
This service is available for those with a minimum of £250,000 to invest in sterling, euros or US dollars. Our Liquidity Management Service is an accessible low-risk and tax-efficient way to grow your wealth, and offers competitive yields on cash-based deposits from a choice of carefully selected financial institutions.
