Why an account in Cape Verde?
Cape Verde combines an escudo pegged to the euro with a banking system outside CRS — a rare combination of currency stability and discretion.
SWICOR works with BCA and Caixa Económica. We select the institution that fits your profile, compile the complete KYC file including source of funds and handle all communication with the bank. You typically invest two to three hours of your time.
Account data from Cape Verde is not automatically reported to your country of residence. The account is fully legal — your reporting obligation remains. Every opening comes with a written compliance briefing.
