Keeping money secure: how we can help
A safe, hassle-free financial arrangement means Anna Maria's finances don't keep her awake at night…
The situation: an unstable country
Anna Maria is a biologist with an international outlook. As an expert on ant species, she spends most of her time up trees in rainforests carrying out research, funded by a range of organisations. She only returns to her native Germany to visit family.
She divides her time between rainforest fieldwork and local universities in a variety of countries. But banking in these countries is often difficult to arrange — plus because she is often working somewhere financially unstable, she doesn't feel her money is safe in a local account.
What she needed: a secure, accessible account
Anna Maria now keeps her money in a Lloyds TSB Offshore Sterling International Account based in Jersey — a stable currency in a stable jurisdiction, with a trusted British bank.
"When it comes to money, what matters most to me is peace of mind," says Anna Maria. "I don't want to spend time organising it, and I definitely don't want to lie awake at night worrying about it. Now I feel like my money is safe, it's still easy to access, and I can get on with my work and my life."
Ongoing help: a mobile option for money
Anna Maria is planning her next research project in a new country — which means uprooting herself entirely. But with her International Account, she needn't move her money when she moves her work.
