Offshore savings accounts can be used anywhere in the world, in all other aspects they are the same as regular savings accounts. As an expat, the flexibility this offers can be invaluable, as this gives you the opportunity to manage your banking needs whether you are in your home country, your host country, or even on your holiday.
