Offshore Debit Card

An offshore debit card is like any other debit card you would use, except that you can also use it in another country. As such, you can make purchases with your offshore debit account wherever your itinerary brings you. Like a local debit card, an offshore debit card has neither monthly charges nor annual fees. And because this type of card can be used only when it has prepaid balance, the owner also enjoys interest rates that are higher than usual. Get a hold of our expert partners and discuss your plans of getting an offshore debit card.
