Hi Ellie hope you are well.
If a money transfer company goes bust there is no
compensation scheme, you lose your doe. Bank to bank accounts have government backed
compensation schemes.
International bank accounts are usually ‘’off shore
accounts’’ and I do not see what benefit they offer nowadays other than
interest paid gross. At the moment bank interest is a pittance. In the old days
they were considered secret bank accounts for tax dodgers, but when Elizabeth
Windsor was force to pay tax she stopped all that, hence Lester Piggott and Ken
Dodd.
Have a good day and best of luck.
