Cayman Islands Banking Laws and Regulations:
The Cayman Islands have implemented laws to protect and enhance the reputation of the Cayman Islands as a base for offshore financial operations. The Cayman Islands signed a Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty with the United Kingdom and the United States targeting narcotics and other crime related frauds.
However, Cayman Island banking laws specifically exclude tax offenses, which has resulted in a consistent rise in the number and quality of banks seeking a license to maintain a presence in the Cayman Islands.
At least 40 of the world’s top 50 banks have branches or subsidiaries in the Cayman Islands, indicating the recognition of the islands’ stature in international finance as well as its position as one of the leading centers of the global Euro-currency market. Some of the influencing factors include the Cayman Islands strong reputation for sensible regulation, professionalism, confidentiality, tax advantages, asset protection, political stability, good infrastructure and geographical location.
However, Cayman Island banking laws specifically exclude tax offenses, which has resulted in a consistent rise in the number and quality of banks seeking a license to maintain a presence in the Cayman Islands.
Cayman’s Monitory Authority exists to protect the Cayman Islands status as a reputable international financial center by strictly enforcing procedures for new licenses and consistently monitoring the existing licensees. Strict insistence on the submission of regular returns and compliance with all Government requirements, including an external audit by approved local auditors.

Benefits
of Banking in the Cayman Islands:
The advantages of banking in a tax-free, secure, English speaking
tropical paradise could fill an entire website in and of itself.
Almost too numerous to properly cover, the Cayman Islands financial
services industry encompasses banking, mutual funds, captive insurance,
vessel registration, companies and partnerships, trusts, structured
finance and the Cayman Islands Stock Exchange.
As of December 2005, over 70 THOUSAND companies were incorporated in the Cayman Islands; including 430 banking and trust companies, 720 captive insurance firms and more than 7,000 funds.
There are absolutely no capital gains, corporation, withholding, property, payroll, income or any other asset-based taxes in the Cayman Islands.
Over 30 banks have a Category A license, which allows them to conduct business with residents and nonresidents alike. The remaining banks hold Category B licenses, which restricts them to offshore transactions with nonresidents.
There are absolutely no capital gains, corporation, withholding, property, payroll, income or any other asset-based taxes in the Cayman Islands. Absent any exchange control allows the free transfer of funds in and out of the Islands, in any currency and with equal freedom to open and maintain accounts in any currency anywhere in the world.
There are no reserve asset requirements in the Cayman Islands and mandatory statutory confidentiality of client information is guaranteed under Cayman Islands law.
Statutory confidentiality of client information is provided by the Confidential Relationships Law although in extremely rare circumstances, the Governor can authorize disclosure of information where there is evidence of criminality. This can apply to transactions effected outside Cayman if – had they taken place within the Islands, they would have constituted a criminal offense.
In 1990 the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty with the United States came into effect, which provides for the exchange of information required in the investigation of a range of criminal activity. However, the treaty specifically excludes tax matters. With no direct taxation, The Cayman Islands are a thriving offshore banking & finance center among the top five banking sectors in the entire world.
