9. No Offer

9.1. Nothing on this Website constitutes a solicitation or offer, to acquire or dispose of any investment, nor is it intended to form the basis of an investment decision and it should not be treated as if it were, nor relied on in any way. Nothing on this Website shall constitute investment advice or a recommendation to buy or sell investments or securities by the Bank.

10. Products and Services

10.1. The Bank’s products and services depend on the Bank securing and/or maintaining correspondent bank facilities and/or commercially viable insurance. This means that from time to time the Bank’s products and services and other features of the Bank’s platform may not be available in certain markets, or at all. This could require a restructuring of that ecosystem and/or its unavailability in all or certain respects on a temporary or permanent basis.

11. Investments

11.1. The value of investments (and any income received from them) can fall as well as rise and you may not get back the amount you invested. For some investments, this can also happen as a result of exchange rate fluctuations because shares and funds may have an exposure to overseas markets. Due to the difference between the buying and selling prices of shares, which will have a particular impact on the value of your investment in the short term, you should regard investment companies as medium to long-term investments. Nationals of certain countries or territories may be subject to exchange controls and should seek independent advice before investing.

12. Crypto and Digital Currency

12.1. The risk of loss in trading or holding Crypto and/or Digital Currency can be substantial. You should therefore carefully consider whether trading or holding Crypto and/or Digital Currency is suitable for you in light of your financial condition.

13. Tax

13.1. Whilst banking with the Bank offshore may have potential tax benefits for you, tax rules differ from country to country. If you are unsure about your personal tax obligations you should seek professional tax advice. It is your responsibility to disclose your income to tax authorities.

13.2. Your tax situation will depend on your personal circumstances and we recommend you obtain independent tax advice.
