BANKING, FINANCE AND INVESTMENT

FINANCIAL FACTS
The Seychelles have bloomed economically in the last 30 years since declaring independence, and now enjoys a solid position as one of the world’s upper-income countries. Almost three-quarters of revenue is derived from the tourism industry, which employs almost a third of the country’s population. Previously, the Seychelles rupee had been overvalued, which led to a significant drop in its value after being depreciated in 2006.
Fiscal year: Calendar year

BANKING
The Seychelles Offshore Banking Department and Central Bank allow numbered accounts. Banking licenses are divided between banks that wish to conduct business domestically and those whose transactions will be happening outside Seychelles borders - and then there is a third category for those who will have mixed clientele. The process of applying for a bank license takes about three months, and you can be refused a license without explanation. Bank audits are prepared yearly and published as public record. Transactions up to SCR100,000 are subject to a limited investigation until the final destination of the funds are discovered

REAL ESTATE
