GARRISON We want to hear from you! Way Why are a growing number of retired officers opening bank accounts offshore? The reasons are simple: profit and privacy. The concept of owning a bank account in a foreign country used to be perceived as a mysterious and exotic financial strategy available only to the very wealthy. While that may have been true in the past, modern technology in the form of the computer and instantaneous communication around the world, has made the benefits of what has become known as “Offshore Banking” available to anyone seeking The Member Books If you’re an MOAA member who has written a book bearing an ISBN, submit a nonreturnable copy with a brief description.
