What Are the Advantages of Offshore Accounts? Why Does Web3 Need Them?

In the cryptocurrency industry, the high barriers of traditional banks, risks of fund freezing, and cumbersome cross-border processes are like invisible shackles. A simple USDT payment could result in the account being frozen; a cross-border remittance could take several days and incur fees ranging from 3% to 8%. When Web3 When global payments have compressed transaction times to the minute level and costs have approached zero, practitioners’ funding channels are still trapped in the old system.

Crypto-Friendly: Opening the Free Channel between Fiat and Digital Currencies

Regulatory banks that support the free exchange of cryptocurrencies are key to breaking the deadlock. Taking Bison Bank in Portugal as an example, it is the only entity bank in Europe approved by the European Central Bank to provide cryptocurrency services. It allows users to directly exchange mainstream cryptocurrencies such as USDT, BTC, ETH, etc., with over 20 fiat currencies including USD, EUR, and offshore RMB within their accounts.

This “dual account system” removes barriers to capital flow:

• Enterprises: Can directly receive USDT payments from overseas clients and instantly convert them into fiat currency to pay suppliers, avoiding exchange rate fluctuation risks;
• Individuals: On-chain assets can be easily exchanged for consumption, investment, or even real estate purchases through KYC compliance.

The fee rate is as low as 0.3%-0.5%, which is undoubtedly a safer and more efficient path compared to the frozen risks of traditional OTC and the high premiums of over-the-counter transactions.

Global Connectivity: Borderless Capital Dispatch Capability

Web3 practitioners often face the needs of distributed team payroll settlements and multi-country client payments, while traditional banks’ foreign exchange controls and regional restrictions become fatal shortcomings. The core advantages of overseas accounts are:

• No foreign exchange controls: Baisen bank accounts have no transfer limit restrictions, supporting global multi-currency receipts and payments;
• Offshore financial flexibility: Funds are not affected by the policies of a single country, making it especially suitable for companies operating in strictly regulated areas (such as some emerging markets);
• Automated high-efficiency processing: Batch process transactions through the Virtual Account function, greatly reducing labor and time costs.

Compliance and Security: “Double Insurance” of Licensed Banks

In the context of increasingly stringent anti-money laundering regulations, the compliance of licensed banks is crucial. Bessen Bank not only holds a full banking license from the EU but is also a People’s Bank of China certified offshore RMB clearing institution (CIPS). All funds are held in a physical bank and are protected by deposit insurance. Its KYC/KYT system can monitor on-chain transaction activities in real-time, striking a balance between concealed addresses and public audits, satisfying regulatory requirements while protecting user privacy.

Easy Account Opening: Global Fund Management in 3 Days

Unlike high-threshold institutions such as DBS Bank, Bessen Bank offers online rapid account opening for individual and corporate users:

• Individuals: Only require passport + proof of address, fully online operation;
• Corporations: Offshore companies from Hong Kong, BVI, Singapore, etc. can apply, and the account can be opened within 3 working days after all documents are complete.

There is no need to go to Portugal; cryptocurrency practitioners can have a financial account covering over 100 countries from the comfort of their homes. While traditional banks are still clearing “suspicious” crypto accounts, a new generation of overseas banks has built a bridge for the free flow of fiat and cryptocurrencies. Licensed institutions like Baisen Bank are using the EU Central Bank license as a cornerstone, multi-currency exchange as an engine, and a global payment network as a channel to open a compliant and efficient financial gateway for Web3 practitioners.

An account is not only a shield against regulatory storms but also a spear that penetrates sovereign barriers—this may be the ultimate answer for digital nomads and cryptocurrency enterprises to survive globally.
