Even life-long Irish residents are finding it unusually cumbersome opening an account at the financial institution of their choosing because of current terrorist threats.

The benefits of having an Irish bank account are not widely known to most Residents and foreigners to the country.  Did you know that banks in Ireland host one of the world's most safest & secure financial networks in the world that rank among the Cayman Islands & banks in Switzerland, and like many renown financial networks in the world, they only divulge your personal information if there is a criminal investigation.  Meaning, your money is 100% secure, and backed by one of the strongest currencies in the world.

Below, you will find some of the benefits of holding an Irish Bank Account, whether you're a local resident, or operate an International Business.

- Benefits of Becoming An Irish Bank Account Holder -

All funds are safe & secure, and cannot be touched by any one else other than the account holder and beneficiaries, regardless of personal legal matters (divorce & lawsuits).

Will have the ability to make purchases any where in the world without difficulty.   Did you know that credit card processors on the Internet have a list of countries in their fraud screening systems that automatically flag orders as fraudulent based on IP address & where the Credit/Debit Card was issued?  That's right, you may have experienced the problem yourself on the Internet while purchasing goods & services using a card that has been issued in one of the over 200 countries that merchant providers refer to as possibly fraudulent.  That's because, most fraudulent orders come from a select group of regions & territories.  Ireland is a country that is not on the International fraud list.

You will be issued a Check Book & a debit/credit card that will be accepted anywhere in the world.

You'll might also be surprised by the fact that you will be given an immediate line of CREDIT upon opening your account, unlike any other U.S., Swiss or other major financial institution around the world because of the equal opportunity credit act.

In addition, if you choose to, all activity will be reported to a government-sponsored credit agency, that will create & issue you a unique credit ID# (only available in Ireland).  After about a year, this ID will enable you to obtain a credit card from nearly every bank in Ireland, along with traditional store credit cards.  THIS IS OPTIONAL WHEN OPENING YOUR ACCOUNT.  This is a very powerful means of establishing your credit in Ireland., whether you're a resident or a foreigner.

Even though it has become increasingly difficult for foreigners to open Irish Bank Accounts, a small group of financial institutions & account representatives (with whom we've established relationships with) will accept new applicants FROM ANY COUNTRY.  The fees aren't any higher than they would be for a resident of the country, and the services offered are the same.  However, you need to contact the proper banking representatives to open your account without the strict screening policies.  We have them!

Regardless of which country you are from, what language you speak, or your reasons for opening an Irish Bank Account, you are ENTITLED to an Irish Bank Account through the new Irish Banking Regulations if you do not have a criminal history (terrorism or money laundering).  However, you there only a few bank branches & account representatives that you can contact to open your account if you're a non-resident.

Whether you're an International Businessman that needs an account in Ireland to purchase goods & services abroad, are looking for a safe place to keep money away from those who may want to hinder your personal financial situation and assume your hard-earned money, or an Irish Resident that has had difficulty opening a certain type of account (business/current), at a specific institution, our featured guidebook will provide you with all of the Irish Banking Industry resources, backdoor contacts, tools, information & applications to open your account within a 24 hour time frame.

Some may say that there are no benefits to holding an Irish Bank Account.  But, from any one who has ever held an account in Ireland, they will tell you the exact opposite.  The truth is by opening a bank in account in a country that boasts one of the strongest currencies in the world, your transactions will be processed & accepted in nearly every country in the world without question.

This upper-hand will enable you to conduct business more easily over the Internet and while traveling, at the same time building your credit in Ireland, which will eventually allow to open credit card accounts through banks & stores all throughout the country.

Irish Bank Accounts both personal & business, allow you to grow financially, unlike accounts in many other countries throughout the world.  In Ireland, every financial transaction, whether it be a debit, credit card purchase or wire transfer, is linked & reported to a government-run credit agency.  U.S., Canadian, Swiss & Cayman financial institutions do not have this setup, and therefore all of your positive banking activity goes unrecognized.  Do you really want that?

If you are a citizen of the United States, and a hold a U.S. Bank Account, you know that obtaining credit is nearly impossible if you don't have any previous or current credit activity, such as a loan.  Even though you might be earning thousands of dollars monthly, and you pay your bills on time (rent, car payments, utility & cell phone bills), that activity will not be reported to any credit bureau, thus PREVENTING you from improving your overall credit score.  If you are a foreigner to the U.S. and are unaware of the credit system, the higher the credit score, the more of a chance you will be issued a line of credit from a financial institution.  The only time you will receive a positive remark on your credit report from paying your bills is when the company you're paying has a reporting contract setup.  This is not the case for 90% of the companies in the U.S.!!!

In the U.S., the credit scoring system is self-destructive in every sense for the individual and business unless you go out of your way to secure bank loans annually & pay your bills on time without being late.

Did you know that every time you pull your credit to analyze it, or apply for a credit card, you lose points and damage your credit score FICO faster than you can repair it in the U.S., and in many other countries?

And, if a bank, a credit card company or collection service posts a negative remark on your report that you're late on a bill, or claims you haven't paid on time one month, that it stays on your credit card bill for years, even if you PAY IT AND TRY AND CLEAR IT UP DIRECTLY.

But, keep in mind that the U.S. is not the only country to offer bank accounts that do not offer credit building services.  Nearly all financial infrastructures throughout the world are set up the same, except Ireland, and a handful of other financial networks.

The U.S. banking & credit scoring system is not geared for the consumers in mind, rather a vehicle for boosting revenues for big banks.  It's an unfortunate thing...  Irish financial institutions are there to help you grow personally & financially on a one-to-one level and actually care about your future.

Step into a U.S. Bank, then step into a Irish bank, and you'll immediately notice a drastic difference in the atmosphere.

Why pay a mediator/consultant hundreds of dollars to open an Irish bank account for you at an unknown financial institution?

Some things are too good to be true, and the online Offshore Irish bank account consultants are certainly that.  The BIG SELL that most Online Irish Banking Consultants offer is the fastest processing of the account opener's application.

The fact of the matter is, yes, they do submit your Account Application to an Irish Bank that is unknown to you until after the account is setup, immediately after you give them $100-400.  And, well, that's all they do....  They simply fill out a short account application form online, and submit your information.  ALL FOR HUNDREDS OF $$$'s.

The only problem is, that the application is now in the UNKNOWN banks hands and it is out of the consultants/mediator's control.  The Irish bank that they had submitted your application form to decides if & when they will open your account.  There are some Irish banks that will set up an account for you within 1 business day, and there others that have a 3-4 week waiting policy to screen for criminal activity of new applicants.

As a future Irish bank account holder, don't you want to be in more control over who you choose as a financial institution?  It's only logical that you would want to be in the drivers seat during the whole process!

Additionally, most of the Irish Online Banking Consultants do not have backdoor agreements setup with the actual financial institutions, unlike us.  Therefore, they cannot guarantee foreigners that they will indeed be able to open a bank account.  There are many factors, such as country of residence, purposes, documentation requirements etc...  The disclaimer is usually very difficult to find on their web sites & or in their marketing material.

We have formed relationships with top banking representatives at the biggest Irish Financial Institutions to expedite the account application process for both Irish & Non-Irish Residents, regardless of country.  Six of our staff members meet up with the banking managers & account representatives monthly to ensure that ANY ONE, regardless of country of residence, can open a Irish Bank Account of their choice using our list of select banks featured in our unique guidebook.
