About Saint Vincent Banks:
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is an independent
nation. It is a full member of the British Commonwealth, the United
Nations, the Organisation of American States, the International
Labour Organisation, Caricom, and the Organisation of Eastern
Caribbean States.
In 1996, the government of St Vincent and
the Grenadines created a new Offshore Finance Authority and enacted
a set of laws that not only reflect the best elements of modern
offshore legislation, but also accept the reality of today's information
technology. There are up-to-date laws governing International
Banks, as well as a law ensuring proper preservation of confidential
relationships in financial services. Saint Vincent enforces strict
bank secrecy laws, and provides 100% anonymous international banking
services. For the international client, whether corporate or private,
St Vincent offers a secure and modern environment in which to
do business.
Our recommended bank in St. Vincent was established in 1997 and
received its Class I Banking License under the governing law of
St Vincent and the Grenadines. The provisions of the International
Banks Act, 1996 ensure proper preservation of confidential relationships
in financial services. The bank handles all data in strict confidence,

Online Banking
:

technology so your banking information is 100% secure and confidential.
All transactions can be executed online, 24 hours a day, 7 days
a week using the internet banking services of our recommended

Pycckuu, and Chinese.
Using the internet banking service, you can
access up to the minute account statements, place funds on your
debit card or credit card accounts, and execute international
wire transfers to any third party. Sophisticated encryption technology
encrypts data as it travels to and from your PC – preventing
your sensitive account information from being intercepted and
deciphered by unauthorised individuals.
Secured computers and browsers turn your
bank transmission data into numeric code, and back again to meaningful
information. Each time you begin a banking session online, your
computer and the banks system agree on a random number that serves
as the key for the rest of the banking "conversation".
While there are billions of possible "keys" –
there is only one that will unlock the door to your information,
and that is valid only for the current session. The banks computer
system is not connected directly to the Internet.
Advanced client
security is provided by use of the unique electronic client identification
device (DIGIPASS - Client Authentication Device). Digipass is
an authentication code and electronic signature generator that
provides secure client identification for access to the banks
banking system. Using the appropriate algorithm, Digipass generates
one-time passwords that are completely unpredictable and different
for each device. This system is currently the most advanced technology
in internet banking.
