Offshore Banks in the Philippines are branches, subsidiaries, or affiliates of foreign banks authorized to do offshore banking in the Philippines.
They do foreign-currency banking transactions primarily with foreign banks, non-residents, other offshore banks and corporate and institutional clients.
They can lend to resident importers and exporters as long as the funds are remitted from abroad through the banking system.
They can open peso deposit accounts with domestic banks but only for meeting administrative and operating expenses and for paying the local beneficiaries or recipients of non-resident-company remittances coursed through the offshore banks’ correspondent banks abroad.
