The International Banking Center



Following the service tradition which characterizes the Republic of Panama, Cabinet Act N° 238 of 1970 amended the banking system and provided our International Financial Center with a series of benefits, which have made Panama one of the most important and efficient banking centers of Latin America, with more than 100 national and foreign banks enjoying its benefits. Among its most important features, we can indicate:

Free flow of funds, with minimum controls or registrations;

The Banking Secret, which is protected by the law;

There is no regulation on the repatriation or exodus of capitals;

The interests are not subject to any kind of assessment; and

Free circulation of the Dollar as the legal currency.
