Currency diversification is spreading your investment across different global currencies such as sterling pound, yen and the Euro.
Reason for currency diversification
For decades, the U.S. dollar has been losing value in relation to stronger currencies. For instance, in 1970, a U.S. dollar would purchase approximately 4.5 Swiss francs. In September 2003, the dollar purchased only 1.4 Swiss francs. While U.S. investors can purchase foreign currencies through a few U.S. banks, offshore banks generally offer higher yields, lower fees and lower minimums.
An investor can deposit and invest his/her money in an offshore bank that offers a higher interest rate than offered in the US.

Offshore banking provides an investor an opportunity to reduce his tax liabilities in his home country.
Offshore banking could have tax benefits, as interest earned on offshore account could be paid without tax being deducted. And if you were to transfer your current savings and investments offshore, you may also be in a position to further reduce your capital gains tax liability in the USA.
Companies set up subsidiaries in offshore centres such as cayman islands and benefit from low to no tax jurisdiction. If the same subsidiary was set up in say london it would be liable to british taxation.
Its not just companies that can set up offshore companies even individual can set up corporation to manage their global income sources.
If you think you pay alot in taxes you might seriously consider banking your money with an offshore bank. Talk with your personal financail advisor.

Numbered bank accounts are offered by Swiss banks. This mean the owner of the bank account is identified by the special number rather than his/her name. The number gives the owner some level of anonymity.
Typically the account will also have a codename attached to it for the convenience of both the banker and customer. This avoids confusion between banker and customer as to which account is being discussed. The feature of numbered accounts is that the customer’s name does not appear on bank statements. Only the number and code-name appear. This means that if bank statements are lost or stolen, it will not be immediately obvious as to who is behind the account.
In the case of a numbered account, the customer’s identity will only be known to a small group of people in the bank, on a “need to know” basis. Also the customer’s name does not appear on the bank’s computer thus preserving confidentiality in the case of cybercrime.
