I'm planning to start a fintech firm that is partnering with a foreign bank in Antigua to offer a high interest US dollar savings account with no forex conversion fees to residents of developing countries like Turkey, South Africa, Nigeria, Somalia, South Sudan, etc. that have highly volatile currencies which depreciate in value.
For example, one USD used to buy 3 Turkish Lira and now it can buy nearly 10 Lira.
Saving in USD is highly secure, liquid, and appreciative asset.
Details:
Mobile app for transactions
Deposit in local currency, but save in USD
No currency conversion fees
Withdraw in USD or local currency up to 7 times a year
7% APR on savings paid in USD
So I know the regulatory system is very complex for offshore banks. In the US, foreign banks are not allowed to advertise towards US residents because of FACTA.
I was wondering if anyone is familiar with regulations regarding promoting foreign banks in countries like Turkey or other countries in Africa?
