Banking in Mauritius
Category Living in Mauritius
When relocating to Mauritius there are a few things that you will want to get done in advance to ensure that your life on the island is smooth and without any delays. One of the first things you'll need is a bank account for your funds or even a home loan for your property.
Mauritius' banking sector is made up of sophisticated financial institutions that offer global banking services to a broad range of corporates and individuals. In addition to traditional banking facilities in a number of foreign currencies, they also offer card-based payment services, such as credit and debit cards, internet banking, and trade financing facilities. Furthermore, Mauritius is part of the IBAN numbering system, which may be convenient for individuals and companies transacting with European Banks.
Banks in Mauritius also offer institutional banking and wealth management services such as fund administration, custodial services, trusteeship, structured lending, international portfolio management, investment banking, private client activities, treasury, and specialized finance.
