My Solo trip to Zanzibar, Tanzania

Jambo (a Swahili greeting when translated to English means) Hello!

It’s been well over a couple of days since I arrived home from my trip in Zanzibar. I’ve finally managed to pen down my experience and I hope it gets to help many of you, who have been asking me about it, carefully plan yours as well.

I embarked on my journey to Zanzibar on Christmas day, many would ask why but having lived in Malaysia, a Muslim country for the past four years, Christmas had become just another day that I had gotten accustomed to not celebrating. However Christmas greetings and hugs with my family were shared before I had to board my plane at 06h45.

Thank you South African Airways and Precision Air my connecting flights to and from Windhoek to Dar es Salaam, Dar es Salaam to Zanzibar and vice versa which were nothing short of amazing. Although I had concerns about Precision Air with regards to flight delays and loss of luggage due to a few bad reviews that I had read on TripAdvisor prior to my trip.

So if you ever are flying from Dar es Salaam, or from any other domestic places within Tanzania such as Arusha perhaps you can try and source for another airline such as ZanAir or Coastal Aviation but I would still advise you read up various reviews on those airlines as well just to be sure.

Why Zanzibar you may ask?

Well, from pictures, videos and a great conversation between a Tanzanian friend and I whom I had met during university I just knew that it was one of those places on my bucket list that I wanted to tick off.

To be honest when I kick started of planning my trip over a year ago, I had initially planned to go to London but then I remembered how horrible the weather was in December the last time I was there, so I opted to go somewhere warmer because you don’t get to explore much when it’s cold.

Mauritius was another island I had considered but taking into consideration all the admin work that needed to be done and recalling the not so great one night stay experience I had in the country two years ago, I decided that I was not going to put myself through that kind of stress again.

So Zanzibar it was, plus being a Namibian citizen meant that I did not need a visa to enter Tanzania as Namibian’s are exempted for about 90days.Tanzania and Zanzibar make use of the same visa so you don’t have to worry about being stopped by immigration at both Julius Nyerere International Airport and Abeid Amani Karume International Airport.

For any of you who do not hold a passport that offers visa exemption to Tanzania do make sure with your individual country visa requirements as to what procedures you should follow to obtain one.

So what and where is Zanzibar?

Zanzibar is a city located east of Africa and is found about 70 kilometres from the mainland of Tanzania. It is split into parts where one can find Stone Town which is UNESCO World Heritage. This part of Zanzibar is also where one would mostly find a lot of people conducting various businesses either through selling hand made goods, excursions or even operating hotels, stores etc.

Then there’s the island side of Zanzibar which I believe we have all seen through the media. There are a number of islands with two main big ones namely Unguja and Pemba Island. Do make sure too visit and stay in Stone Town for a few days before heading down to any island of your choice.

NB take note of:

Currency used in Zanzibar is US Dollars or Tanzanian Shillings, they accept both but also note that they do not accept any USD made before the year 2007.

Departure tax, sometimes if this is not paid for in your flight ticket you will have to pay USD 50 when leaving Zanzibar airport.

Zanzibar has a large population of Muslims, remember to dress decently as it is very important to respect other people’s way of life, when in Stone Town try and cover up as much as you can. However on the islands being in your swimsuits and trunks is not frowned upon.

Get a Yellow Fever injection from your doctor one month before you embark on your journey.

Your passport should have a six months validity.

Zanzibar has fairly humid weather, pack wisely.

Don’t forget to pack yourself mosquito repellent as you will need it.

Main languages spoken in Zanzibar are Swahili, Arabic and English

How I planned?

Whenever I travel I always draft up an itinerary as this helps me a lot with calculations and anything that I might miss if not written down.

Savings - I made it a goal in the beginning of last year (2018) that each month I would save about N$ 3500 (USD 244) for my trip. These savings were to make sure I could purchase my flight ticket, buy a few items, pay for accommodation, food, activities and still have extra money just in case of any emergencies because with traveling one can never be too sure.

Flight – I had an agent from Blueberry Travel Namibia book my ticket for me. Other agents I had also considered were Trip Travel, Rennies Travel and Welwitschia Travel, but I opted to go with Blueberry because they were efficient and also gave me two flight options varying in price difference of about N$ 1800 (USD 125).

In addition depending on which agent you choose to go for please do make sure you request that your agent also provides you with travel insurance because this can save you a lot. I paid about N$ 350 (USD 26) for mine.

Accommodation – I made use of booking.com which is a worldwide site that helps one find accommodation depending on the price you want. The good thing about booking.com is that it comes with reviews, information on services that the place of accommodation offers, pictures of what it looks like, nearby tourist attractions as well as options that allow one to reserve a room and only pay on arrival. So if you change your mind on where you want to stay you won’t lose out on anything and you can easily cancel your reservation.

As I am not big on staying in 5 star hotels because I am more of an experience life on the edge kind of person in most cases I’d either stay at a guest house or a female dormitory backpacker’s hostel while taking safety and cleanliness into consideration. These types of accommodations are great if you’re looking to interact with people, I sometimes feel that it should be a goal as a solo traveller to want to meet and talk to people and this is a great way to do it.

While in Stone Town I stayed at Ten to Ten Hostel for three days. I had paid N$ 750 (USD 54) with city tax included. In Jambiani which is the island I went to for another three days,I stayed at Vanilla House run by a Polish and Maasai couple. I paid N$ 630 (USD 45) city tax included as well and had slept in a mixed dorm room.

Do make sure that when booking your accommodation through any website that city tax has been included into the price to prevent any surprises of having to pay more than you had budgeted for when you arrive.

Food – I had a budget of about N$ 270 (USD 20). This was only for lunch, dinner and snacking food items in between as my breakfast was included in both my accommodation packages. Food is relatively affordable in Zanzibar, one would normally spend about USD 10 per meal. And there is an array of food choices.

Transport on the ground – Stone town is very small you can go anywhere within the area by foot as everything is close by. However you will have to pay for transport if you plan on going to any of the Zanzibar islands as they are quite far depending on where you go.

My accommodation provided shared transport to various islands. The total cost of the transfers are usually around USD 40 if you go by yourself but if you choose the sharing van option depending on the number of people in the van you might end up paying a quarter of the full price. I only paid USD 10 as opposed to USD 40 for the shared transfer I was in. Spesho the driver of the van was a ball of fun to drive with I highly recommend him you can WhatsApp him on +255715297037.

There is also another mode of transport called Dala dala, the cheapest mode of transport for about USD 3 you can take one towards the island of your choice but note that it takes much longer to reach ones destination.

Activities – I did not spend much on this because exploring is basically free unless you opt to go for city tours. There a many local people who will approach you for tours but politely decline if you do not want one.

The only activity I paid for was a village tour as I am very into interacting with communities. This tour was offered by @colorsofzanzibar on Instagram for about USD 50 which included a tour to a sea weed village, local school, a woman who taught me how to make rope out of coconut fibre, a local traditional meal of choice, a visit to the local hospital and a tour around the village and its local homes which are called Kibandas.

My Trip

Starting off from Stone Town

If I could describe Zanzibar to someone it would be that it is not like what I have seen on TV or in magazines, it was is so much more than I expected it to be. Every little detail in Stone Town was beautiful. The name Stone Town says it all, it gets its name from the ornate houses built with local stone by Arab traders and slavers during the 19th Century.

When I travel I always look to see if a place is able to make me feel at home and that’s exactly how I felt when I arrived. From the moment I landed people were very welcoming, everyone smiles and greets you with a jolly Karibu which means welcome and I knew then and there that I was going to have a great time.

The airport is rather very small so don’t be surprised, just adapt. There are also various airport transfers that can take you to your destination. I made use of Bennito who came highly recommended on all the research sites when I was planning my trip. Noting that I had arrived in the evening I wanted to make use of a reliable and safe transfer so Bennito it was, you can find him on Instagram @zanzibardestination or WhatsApp him on +255 743 072 597 and he charges USD 12 to Stone Town which is a 40 minute drive from the airport.

Just a heads up, there are no traffic lights or stops in Zanzibar so people drive like maniacs however don’t worry too much about the driving because they know their roads so trust that you will be okay.

When I arrived at my hostel, I noticed how filled the streets of Stone Town were with many tourists from all corners of the world as well as its residents walking around and socialising. As I mentioned earlier I stayed at Ten to Ten hostel which was very welcoming. Since it is somewhat of a newly built accommodation everything was really clean which I liked and it was centred basically in an area that was safe, surrounded by a number of places to eat and attractions.

My Highlights of Stone town.

I explored Stone Town by myself and whenever I got lost people were always willing to direct me the right way. I visited the Secret Garden at Emerson spice tea house where I had lunch and I was taken on a free tour of the hotel itself. It’s always good to ask if this can been done because you never know what you can score for free.

I also took a walk to Forodhani Garden which was a minute away from my accommodation. Basically this is a food market near a waterfront and every day just before sunset young teenage boys gather at the water front and jump off into the water to cool themselves.

I then also went to Darajani Market and the local fish market which was a free activity as welll. Along the way I stumbled upon Jaws corner, which is a corner where men usually meet every day to drink a cup of spice tea while discussing various life topics.

In addition I also went to a traditional spa called Mrembo Spa, where I chose a head, neck and back massage. This spa also helps Swahili females who are in the process of getting married prepare their bodies by clearing their skin to make it smoother before the big day. It also offers workshops where one can learn how to make incense sticks among other things. Mrembo spa can be found on Instagram @mrembospa or visit their website at www.mrembospa.com for their contact details.

Another discovery I came across was the House of Spices, which is a restaurant that till this day maintains its Arabic atmosphere and touring around the space was free.

All these places that I had gone too were located really near my hostel. It would take me about 7 minutes to get to each which was very convenient. And then off I was to the island of Jambiani.

Ending off in Jambiani

About sixty kilometres, southwest of Stone Town was where my island of choice Jambiani was situated. Why Jambiani, well I wanted to truly experience and live the Tanzania local life that is away from all the touristy stuff.

Jambiani is a very big village, it’s so big that it has been split into two parts and has two local chiefs that run each side of the village. The village is home to Muslims, Christians and Buddhists

Since it is a seaweed village local fisher men are usually seen in the early hours of the morning pushing out their boats for fishing as most of the residents from the village survive on sea food. They also make their income from this. In addition local women from the village assisted by their children also make a living from seaweed farming which is very common.

Arriving at my accommodation, Vanilla House I was welcomed with smiles and a fresh glass of mango juice before they had taken me to where I would sleep. On the very same day I found myself amidst a small intimate beach wedding that my place of accommodation was hosting where a polish couple eloped. This was amazing because it was my first time experiencing a beach wedding and now I am definitely left wanting to someday have a beach wedding of my own.

On the very same day which was a Friday, I also got the chance to attend another wedding but this one was much bigger. It was a local Muslim wedding and I had been informed Muslims usually celebrate their weddings on Fridays. Most of the people from the community gathered around in a circle and had a joyous dance off. Jambiani was truly just amazing.

During my time there I also awoke to the most beautiful sunrise I had ever seen while overlooking the soothing sound of the oceans waves.

Throughout the three days I spent on Jambiani I explored the beach this too was a free activity. I also took a bike ride that was offered by my accommodation for US 5 along the beach.

I as well had the opportunity to get on the local boats of Zanzibar called Dhow boats with a young man called Harry and is father. Although language was somewhat of a barrier Harry and I communicated pretty well as he knew a little bit of English.

All the meals I had throughout my stay were freshly prepared depending on whatever I wanted to eat and many restaurant on the beach were affordable as well.

There is so much I can say about both Stone Town and Jambiani but I would want you to experience it for yourself to see exactly what I mean by it is nothing short of amazing. I hope that this write up will help you plan your trip or any other trip in general that you might want to take.

Free Or Paid Classified Ads

Business men nowadays are looking for that perfect spot in classified ads. Classified ads have been noted for having this great promotional advertising for different business. This will make your business grow in popularity and your sales as well. But there are two kinds of classified ads nowadays, and it is quite hard to pick between the two. Let's tackle these classifications one by one and determine which is more effective for your business.

Free classifieds are literally for free. They are usually seen in different websites out there and all you need to do is to Google it and there you have the lists of possible classified agencies that could advertise your business for free. The advantage for this is that you don't need to pay for anything. The web owner or the classified ads owner will tell you how much space you are required to fill and how many words you should submit. Disadvantage of this free classifieds is that it is a first come first serve basis.

If the classified is full, you have to wait for a couple of weeks or even months to get your business inside the classifieds. This could pose to some business owners who are dependent to the season like selling flowers or products that could only be sold in specific season. Another disadvantage is that these classifieds will limit the number of spaces, characters, pictures and even the color of the ads you want to publish. Some classified owners will only allow you to use black and white color only. This will make your ads more unnoticeable by your customers, and this could potentially decrease your sales in the future as well.

Paid classified ads are great for business with bigger profits or with bigger income. This is due to the fact that classified ads is quite expensive but is one of the effective ways to publish your business. In paid classifieds, you have to pay the amount depending on the size and the kind of ads you want to publish. The bigger the size the more expensive it gets, but the more attention you get from your customers. It is also advantageous due to the fact that you can choose any colors you want and be creative with your ad space.

While classified ads are a great way to advertise your business, there are also a million ways to advertise. You can use social networking sites such as Facebook or Tweeter accounts to advertise your business. Almost all of the customers have their own accounts in these popular networking sites and this could be an effective method to advertise.

Sunny Places, Shady Business: A Look Into Tax Havens

By Henry Jacobson, Florida State University Class of 2020

July 29, 2020

The glitz, the glam, and Swiss bank accounts. Being rich is complicated work. When wealthy individuals and gigantic corporations desire a break from paying into the community, they send their assets on a vacation. Offshore accounts in tropical islands and European countries tend to be free from the prying eyes and greedy hands of the IRS. Establishing and operating out of a tax haven can be a legal and financial maze for many companies. After all, the US government enjoys its income and adopts new regulations concerning tax havens frequently. So, who uses tax havens, how do they harm us, and why are they still around?

Tax havens must fit a number of categories to be considered a tax haven. First, they take no or a tiny amount of taxes from corporations. Second, they are willing and able to hide the identity of people with assets in the country. Third, the financial happenings of this country are generally not transparent. Fourth, they do not require residency to establish a financial presence. And Lastly, they market themselves as “international financial centers”, or use a similar technical sounding and flowery slogan for themselves [1]. The top five tax havens, as listed by Business Insider, are the Cayman Islands, Bermuda, Jersey Island, Taiwan, and the British Virgin Islands. “The world's top tax haven, the British Virgin Islands, holds more than 5,000 times the value of what its economy should hold” [2]. Most tax havens are islands that do not have large economies.

The US companies that use these tax havens range from Apple to Marriot International and Goldman Sachs. Apple has $246 billion stashed away offshore in three subsidiaries located in Ireland. And Goldman Sachs has “$31.2 billion stashed offshore in 905 tax haven subsidiaries, the most of any company mentioned in the report by far. That includes 511 in the Cayman Islands, despite the company not having a single office there. It also has 183 more subsidiaries in Luxembourg, 52 in Ireland and 41 in Mauritius” [3]. Forbes goes on to state that “despite the popularity of small island nations such as Bermuda and the Cayman Islands for tax avoidance schemes, the Netherlands is actually the most frequently used tax haven for major U.S. companies” [3].

With these major US companies moving their assets offshore to increase their profits, the American people are left to deal with the repercussions. The obvious consequence of offshore tax havens is the decrease in taxes from major corporations and wealthy individuals. Taxes are how we pay for society. Roads, schools, parks, police officers, firefighters, and many more things are funded by our tax dollars. The idea that the average American citizen can face time in prison for not giving the IRS their cut, but Goldman Sachs can hold billions offshore is indefensibly unfair. Tax havens rob the US people of funding for the services that we all pay into and enjoy. Additionally, tax havens are popular with criminals. The obscurity with which tax havens operate financially benefit criminals immensely. Tax havens offer these bad actors a place to stash their ill-gotten goods away from the eyes of the law and, if they are discovered to be guilty of a crime, tax havens offer a place to keep their money from courts [4]. Also, tax havens are only taken advantage of by large corporations and wealthy individuals. This skews our economic state to monopolies. Small and medium business owners can not expend the time and effort of maintaining offshore accounts that mega-corporations can [4].

However, some argue that the outright removal of tax havens would have a negative impact on US business. Economist Juan Carlos Suárez Serrato, in his article “Unintended consequences of eliminating tax havens”, states that the implementation of anti-tax-haven legislation of 1996 lead to a reduction of “global investment by 23 percent and domestic investment by 38 percent. Domestic employment suffered as well, with affected firms shedding about 1 million jobs, an employment decline of 9.1 percent” [5]. Tax havens are used because they are a boon to business. Once the tax haven option is removed, businesses suffer. This suffering is often transferred back to the US in the form of higher unemployment numbers and a slightly worse economy. The argument has also been made that the ability to be free of heavy regulations, like there is in the states, offers companies an innovative edge. “Successive governments have believed it worthwhile for . . . Wall Street - to have the advantage of having part of their activity beyond regulation, so that they could compete in ways which are considered to be innovative and which make money for the world financial markets beyond the regulatory environment” [6]. Regulation has historically slowed down business.

Ultimately, the best course of action will depend on what we as a nation value more. Whether to boost domestic infrastructure at the expense of industry and innovation or to deny the public and the government full funding to protect our companies and industry. Of course, there will forever be debate over government spending of tax dollars no matter how much they have. Our government does not use our current tax dollars with the utmost efficiency. A sudden windfall of billions of more tax dollars would likely not change that matter.

She did backup vocals for English singer George Michael at the age of 16, and lent vocals to other musicians such as Mary J. Blige, Chaka Khan, Blu Cantrell, Emma Bunton, Kelly Clarkson, Andrea Bocelli and Ms. Dynamite. Savage enrolled at Berklee College of Music and graduated with a degree in professional music in 2007. While reminiscing about her experiences there, she said she was motivated by the drive and passion of the younger students. She also said she needed the school's atmosphere.

Music career and accolades In 2006, Savage participated in the UK edition of The X Factor and advanced to the final 24, but ended up being the 12th person to be evicted. While participating, she had difficulty dealing with the limelight. She said, "You have to always realize that people are watching. When I got the bad news that I wasn't getting through it was a really painful time. But you still have to learn how to hold that until you get home. Because you don't want to just let everything out. People admire you and want to see that you're strong; they don't want to see you breaking down." In 2009, Savage signed a publishing deal with Sony/ATV Music Publishing. The deal allowed her to write for Babyface, Kat Deluna, Fantasia, Monica and Mýa. She has received songwriting credits for her contribution to Monica's soul-tinged ballad "Catch Me". Her collaboration with Fantasia on the song "Collard Greens & Cornbread" earned the American recording artist a Grammy nomination in 2010. Savage wrote Jaicko's "Oh Yeah", featuring Snoop Dogg, and Deluna's "Push Push", featuring Akon. She performed background vocals on Whitney Houston's album I Look to You (2009). Inspired by the growth of the Nigerian music industry, Savage moved back to Nigeria and signed with Mavin Records in 2012.

Once Upon a Time, record deal and endorsement This album is straight from my heart and it's something that I've worked so tirelessly for. A lot of people wondered why it took me so long a time to drop my own album. That's because we had to go through a lot of legal processes to clear some of the samples that we used, and that took us some months. Also, we wanted to work with notable producers outside the shores of the country like Oak who produces Rihanna. So, we had to work around his schedule and waited for them to have our time. But this album is something that I really took my time with because I didn't want it to be the usual Nigerian album that contains just party tracks from the beginning till the end. -Tiwa Savage, speaking to Vanguard about her debut studio album In December 2011, Savage co-hosted the second season of Nigerian Idol alongside IllRymz. She made her film debut with Joke Silva and Ireti Doyle in the stage adaptation of For Coloured Girls. Savage established the 323 Entertainment record label with her former manager and husband Tunji "Tee Billz" Balogun, to whom she got engaged on 5 February 2013.

Savage started recording her debut studio album Once Upon a Time in 2010. She held an album listening party at the Wheatbaker Hotel in Ikoyi in May 2013.

The album was released to the Nigerian public on 3 July 2013. It was released on iTunes a day before its official release. Savage named the album Once Upon a Time in order to portray the positive stories about her life. She said she wanted to motivate other upcoming artists by telling them that, once upon a time, she was a little girl in Isale Eko who dreamt of being a star. The album was supported by seven singles—"Kele Kele Love", "Love Me (3x)", "Without My Heart", "Ife Wa Gbona", "Folarin", "Olorun Mi" and "Eminado".

Studying a map of Africa and trying to plan a trip can be a daunting task. The options of where to go in Africa seem to be endless, don’t they? But if you are travelling between November and January, there are certain areas of the continent that are better to visit than others.

Here are our recommendations for where to go in Africa during November, December and January…

This article in our ‘Where to go in Africa’ series is courtesy of Cedarberg Africa, a travel and safari company specializing in African tailor-made itineraries. We have special rates with all the hotels and game lodges, so you don’t pay any more.

Where to go in Africa in November

The busy-ness of the peak safari season (and often high prices) are over and the green season starts. The days are also getting longer and warmer in Southern Africa, so whether you are visiting the Indian Ocean Islands or South Africa, a beach holiday should be high up on your list!

We recommend:

South Africa

Kwazulu-Natal is a must-visit if you are fascinated by the extraordinary behaviour of turtles. Visit in November and witness hundreds of Leatherback Turtles laying their eggs on the beach.

The Cape starts to enjoy really gorgeous sunny days. And if you are in the Hermanus area, you might even catch the last of the whales wallowing in the sea.

Although it is the start of the rainy season in the Greater Kruger, it is a fantastic time to see the migration of birds.

Namibia

This is one of the best times of the year to encounter the Desert Adapted Elephant in Namibia’s Damaraland. There are only a few hundred of these famous Ellies left, so it is most certainly worth a trip.

Ethiopia

If culture and heritage interests you, visit the northern parts of Ethiopia. This is a popular month to tour the remarkable religious and historical sites. (Try our 12 night Northern Ethiopia History & Scenery tour).

It is the end of the dry season in countries like Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Namibia and Malawi. Visit in November and you’re likely to benefit from more affordable ‘green season’ rates.

Feel free to contact us so that we can tailor-make the perfect trip for you. You might also like to look at our travel calendar for more ideas of when to travel where in Africa.

Where to go in Africa in December

The lyrics from Grease, “summer-lovin’, having a blast” come to mind when ‘December’ and ‘southern Africa’ are bundled together. And for very good reason. If it’s the sun and sand you are longing for, plan your trip for this time of year.

We recommend:

Indian Ocean Islands

Pack your costumes and beach towels and head to the Indian Ocean Islands. It’s a gorgeous time of the year to visit the Seychelles, Mauritius or Mozambique – take your pick!

South Africa

The shores of South Africa are guaranteed to be flooded with tourists and locals on school holiday. The weather is warm (often rather hot) and there is little chance of rain, so whatever you do, book early!

Where to go in Africa in January

Once again it is worth mentioning sunny South Africa. By mid month the locals will have returned to work and school respectively, but it will still be swarming with travellers… the weather is just too good to go anywhere else!

We recommend:

Kenya

A safari in this part of East Africa is perfect for January. With short grass in most areas, it is easy to see game and take walking safaris.

South Africa

Enjoy beautiful warm days in most parts of the country. It is also a great time to go on a safari in the Eastern Cape, Madikwe or Northern Kwazulu-Natal.

Whilst you are there, visit Coastal Maputuland. There might be afternoon thundershowers, but the sea is beautifully warm. As far as turtle-habits go, it is the crossover period between the nesting and hatching seasons of the leatherback and loggerhead turtles.

This ‘Where to go in Africa’ series is by Cedarberg Africa

You do get 10,000 in virtual money (in other words, you cannot withdraw these funds) You can download the MT4 trader platform to your computer or use the web trader. The demo account has the exact same features and interactions as the live account. You cannot use the live account until you first deposit funds into your account.

Adding & Withdrawing Funds

To deposit funds into your trading account you can do so by a number of methods, such as Visa or Mastercard, Bank wire transfer, giropay, Skrill, Neteller and a few other methods. Withdrawals take 3-5 working days and are done through the same method as you used to deposit funds into your account.

Verification/Identification

Naturally to prevent money laundering you will need to verify your identity before you can actually begin trading. You simply need to provide a scanned copy of your personal ID, such as passport or driving license and proof of residency.

Customer Support

BDSwiss provides unparalleled customer support in 20 native languages on a 24/5 basis. The support team is on hand via live chat, email or a toll-free line to resolve any issues and provide traders with the information they need. BDSwiss’ support consultants are skilled experts in the financial sphere and have all the requisite knowledge to help traders resolve any issue at hand.

Concerns /Things To Consider

The main things to consider when looking to use BDSwiss CFD trading platform is that it is not available to every country around the world. If you live in the United States Canada, Japan, Sudan, Syria, and North Korea then the platform is not available to you.

Even if you are a seasoned trader of CFD’s or have good experience trading online, you may want to consider opening up a demo account first, simply to practice using the platform so you get used to it before you start.

Of course, the main thing to consider is that when trading your capital is at risk. There are no guarantees concerning the success or the limiting of failure and so it is always best to consider placing as much risk management in place as possible.

We carried out a web search to find complaints about the company and to be honest, we struggled to find many. We did find a few, and that is going to be natural, because nothing is perfect and people don’t like the way things are done, or they have had a bad experience. BDSwiss does have a full complaints procedure in place which can be downloaded from their website.

One of the most often asked questions concerning these trading companies, is whether they are a scam or not? This is a common question of course because there have been in the past a lot of companies offering Forex trading that were scam artists, but the reason why those companies were able to often get away with scamming individuals, was because they were not regulated. As we mentioned at the beginning, BDSwiss is regulated and come under some very stringent regulations and procedures.

CFDs Are Complex Instruments And Come With A High Risk Of Losing Money Rapidly Due To Leverage. Between 74-89% Of Retail Investor Accounts Lose Money When Trading CFDs. You Should Consider Whether You Can Afford To Take The High Risk Of Losing Your Money.

Why You Should Use Free Online Classified Ads

With the growth of social network sites, the net has become one of the easiest ways to reach out to a wider audience, resulting in one of the best avenues for retailers and people to buy and sell merchandise. With its introduction into the popular new media, many people are finding that the World Wide Web is a much better place to trade their stuff rather than a garage sale.

Consumers have always been searching for great deals and bargains. When reading the newspapers, buyers oftentimes browse classifieds even if they're not searching for anything. Companies, on the other hand, are always seeking to reach out to a lot more people and thus inform them of their services or products, consequently boosting the chances of prospective buyers.

MAXIMIZING VISIBILITY

Being on the web on its own doesn't signify that every individual through the web are able to see your advertisements.

Offshore Online Banking Guide - Critical Information You Must Know

There are several legal and regulatory compliance implications with offshore banking that I'd like to cover in this article. However, please don't construe information on this site as legal guidance. I am providing this information for free based on my own experiences. Please consult your professional attorney or CPA (accountant) before you get involved with offshore internet banking.

What is an Offshore Bank

To be over simplistic, an offshore bank is a financial institution outside the shores of your country. If you are in Australia, a bank in the United States is an offshore bank to you. If you are in the United States, a bank in Singapore is an offshore bank to you. Therefore, the idea of offshore banking is relative.

A business or an individual, in this case you, may select an offshore bank account in a jurisdiction that is typically favorable in terms of taxes (often referred to as a tax haven by media), as well as in terms of legalities. In addition to choosing a jurisdiction with no to little income tax, for many, privacy and "secrecy" of banking activities are two of the bigger key considerations.

It goes without saying that access to your funds is important, as well as protection from corruption and stability in terms of certainty.

List of Common Offshore Online Banking Services

This is a brief list of services offered by offshore banks. This list is by no means a full comprehensive list of an offshore bank's offerings, but rather a list of some of the most common offshore online banking services that businesses and individuals are offered:

Remote Deposits of funds

Direct Deposits of funds

ACH / Wire Transfers / EFT - Electronic Fund Transfers

Consumer and Commercial Lending

All Basic Credit Activities

Access to Capital - Offshore Debit Cards

Forex - Currency Exchange

Wealth Management

Offshore Trading Account

Offshore Brokerage Account

Administrative Services

Trustee Services

Note: Offshore banks typically tend to focus on either consumer or commercial banking. Within consumer, https://bankingintel.com/ banks differentiate between retail consumer (the average individual) or private banking (meant for high net worth individuals).

Because each concentration involves a different cost structure from the bank's perspective, when selecting an offshore bank for yourself, be clear on what type of consumer you are and what offshore online banking services you need. Gaining this clarity will ensure you are not disappointed in your choice.

List of Common Offshore Banks

No doubt the two most common names in offshore online banking are Switzerland and Cayman Islands. Just pick up any business journal or pop in a business based Hollywood flick. There is likely a mention of a Swiss bank account somewhere.

This is because as of at least 2012, these two jurisdictions held the most number of total deposits amongst all offshore online banks. Some other jurisdictions that offer offshore online banking are the following:

Singapore

Malaysia

Panama

Cook Islands

Dominica

Saint Kitts and Nevis

Antigua

Malaysia

Anguilla

New Zealand

Luxembourg

Bahamas

Barbados

Bermuda

British Virgin Islands

Cyprus

Cook Islands

Channel Islands

Monaco

Mauritius

Hong Kong

Malta

Macau

Regulating Offshore Online Banking

With complexity comes increasing regulation. The regulation around offshore online banking activities has https://bankingintel.com/ steadily increased over the years, but according to many of its supporters it is still not enough. This means much more is in the pipelines. Regulation has particularly increased significantly after the significant events of September 11, 2011.

Regulatory guidance is issued and monitored by global bodies such as the International Monetary Fund or the IMF, who require financial institutions worldwide to maintain a certain level of operating or performance standard, specifically in terms of capital adequacy and liquidity. These key performance indicators are to be reported by banks on a quarterly basis to its designated regulator (such as the Fed or the FDIC in the United States).

The list of regulations is endless and quite comprehensive to say the least. Some notables are the Anti Money Laundering (AML) regulation and the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA). These acts require banks and financial institutions to immediately report suspicious activity resembling money laundering to local government authorities despite stepping out of the BSA jurisdiction.

Another example is the information sharing requirements between a certain group of countries with regards to capital flow and taxation which was initiated by members of the European Union. On the other side of the pond, the taxing body of the United States, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires financial institutions to report to it names of businesses and individuals who benefited from interest income resulting from deposits in US based institutions.

The most notable in my opinion of recently enacted regulations is the US Patriot Act, which permits the US Government to seize all assets of a financial institution if it suspects that the institution holds assets that belong to a potential criminal. Several other countries have since followed suit.

I personally feel these regulations strengthen the global banking infrastructure. But then again I am just one person. There are others who feel in all sorts of ways about offshore online banking.

Interesting Fact: Did you know that just until the 1990s, individuals were allowed to create their very own offshore banks. This practice was stopped and now only large institutions are allowed to do so.

Connotations and Implications of Offshore Online Banking

It is not illegal to conduct offshore online banking, but such activities tend to carry with them a certain set of connotations and legal implications that you must be aware of and comply with. There can be severe fines, penalties and legal repercussions if you fail to comply with the legal and regulatory requirements.

Why you must be thinking? Because offshore banking historically has been used and abused by those who intended to evade taxes, as well as those that used funds for illegal causes. For example, https://bankingintel.com/ organized crime networks heavily use offshore online banking to launder money.

But like I said, conducting offshore online banking isn't an illegal activity. All persons conducting offshore online banking are required by most countries (depending on their residency) to disclose the activities and the outcomes, such as interest income for example.

Specifically in the United States for example, a US resident's income is taxed on a global basis. This means that even interest earned overseas is subject to taxation by US authorities. Now although financial institutions are not required to disclose this information to countries of interest due the bank secrecy guidelines, individuals are required to disclose this information.
