Making withdrawals
Banks offer a variety of ways to withdraw funds to maximize the convenience of using their services. Many offshore banks issue a debit card that allows you to easily access your funds worldwide. Make sure you're aware of the fees for using the card since they can add up.
Withdrawing larger amounts of cash at one time may help to minimize these fees.
The best way to withdraw is using electronic wire transfers to transfer larger amounts of offshore funds to a domestic account where they can be easily accessed. This offers greater privacy and security and of course convenience of a local bank.
