To protect their  financial privacy, some international clients have already moved their  money to more discreet havens like Panama and the Cayman Islands. \u201cSince  April 19 [when the regulation was passed], we\u2019ve heard that several  hundred million dollars have left Florida for foreign jurisdictions,\u201d  said David Schwartz, executive director of the Florida International  Bankers Association. \u201cCustomers have said \u2018we\u2019re aware of what\u2019s going  on, and we prefer to take our money overseas.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At play is more  than $14 billion in South Florida banks that comes from offshore  individuals according to a 2011 survey by the Florida Office of  Financial Regulation. That breaks down to 41 percent of total deposits  in Florida-chartered banks \u2014 generally community banks \u2014 plus 90 percent  of total deposits in foreign-owned financial entities regulated by the  state. Those numbers do not include foreign funds in nationally  chartered or federally regulated institutions \u2014 a figure that likely  would \u201csubstantially\u2019\u2019 exceed the $14 billion, according to the survey.<\/p>\n<p>Banking and business groups have opposed the rule, continuing the  fight this week by convincing lawmakers to include the tax rule in a  Congressional bill that would freeze all \u201csignificant regulatory  action\u2019\u2019 until the unemployment rate drops to 6 percent. Though the  measure passed the House of Representatives Thursday, it is not expected  to become law.<\/p>\n<p>The stakes are especially high for South Florida  banks because of the concentration of foreign deposits in the region.  The Florida OFR survey indicates that 11 of 16 South Florida\u2019s locally  based banks could risk failure if faced with a deposit run-off. For 16  of the region\u2019s 22 state-regulated foreign institutions, foreign  deposits account for at least 90 percent of holdings. The survey does  not name the institutions surveyed.<\/p>\n<p>The impact could go beyond  the institutions that are directly involved. Fewer deposits translates  into less money to lend; the OFR study shows that a 20 percent decrease  in foreign deposits would result in a $25 billion decrease in funds  available for community lending.<\/p>\n<p>And if withdrawals were to cause  banks to fail, U.S. taxpayers would be stuck with at least part of the  tab. The taxpayer-funded Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures  $250,000 for each account in a qualifying institutions, regardless of  whether the depositor is a resident.  Local business people worry that if the foreign bank accounts go, other  types of invetment could go too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t see why we would want to  make any of these offshore depositors nervous, because they bring  tremendous value to us,\u201d said Richard Dailey, president and CEO of  Apollo Bank where about 40 percent of accounts are held by foreign  nationals. \u201cWe use that money to make loans, and they buy real estate  and make other investments here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yet some local experts doubt  the new disclosure rule will cause a massive outflow of cash from South  Florida. Few banking systems are as secure as that of the U.S. Plus, the  trend toward increased transparency isn\u2019t limited to U.S. banks.  Governments around the world are starting to crack down on tax evasion,  which is responsible for up to $280 billion in uncollected income tax  globally, according to a report from the Tax Justice Network.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe  effect of this regulation may not be as onerous as some people  unfortunately fear,\u201d said Miami-based banking lawyer Bowman Brown.<\/p>\n<p>Foreign  depositors are \u201clooking at the same thing world wide,\u201d he said, so even  those who who want to take their money out of the U.S. may have few  alternatives.<\/p>\n<p>Defenders of the new regulation say it\u2019s a  necessary gesture so the IRS can access information on accounts held by  American nationals in other countries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe IRS is not just doing  something because they want to penalize banks. They don\u2019t want to waste  their time and resources saying that the bankers are the bad guys,\u201d  said Ken Thomas, an economist and Miami banking expert. \u201cThey must  believe that there\u2019s a significant amount of lost revenue to pass  something as controversial as this. The banking lobby is very strong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bill  Sharp, a tax lawyer with offices in Tampa, San Francisco and Zurich,  has been watching what he calls the \u201cmega-trend of global compliance\u201d  unfold for more than two decades, beginning in the late 1980s with a  trickle of voluntary disclosure campaigns allowing Americans to declare  offshore wealth without facing penalties. When authorities started  cracking down on funding for terrorism after September 11, 2011, they  also uncovered rampant tax evasion that had long gone unchecked.<\/p>\n<p>A  major shift came in February of 2009, when the U.S. Department of  Justice reached an agreement with the Swiss government that breached the  famous secrecy of Swiss banks. The catalyst was a federal case against  banking giant UBS that alleged, among other things, that UBS bankers  courted wealthy clients at Art Basel Miami Beach, pitching ideas for  offshore accounts. UBS entered into a deferred prosecution agreement,  agreeing to pay a $780 million penalty and to disclose information on  hundreds of U.S. taxpayers who had accounts with the Zurich-based bank.<\/p>\n<p>The  IRS saw this case as \u201cthe poster child for why we need to attack bank  secrecy,\u201d said Sharp, not just for the penalty collected, but also for  the thousands of Americans who voluntarily came forward to confess their  offshore tax transgressions.<\/p>\n<p>Critics of this recent IRS rule  argue that while the new standard of transparency makes sense for  countries in Europe and the Caribbean that harbor hidden accounts, few  Americans keep their money in Pakistan or Portugal. In total, almost  many of the 80 countries are included on the list of countries with  which the IRS has promised to share information.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat American  has a banking account in Peru? In Chavez\u2019s Venezuela?\u201d asked Alex  Sanchez, president and CEO of the Florida Bankers Association and an  outspoken critic of the regulation. \u201cYou know what is the No. 1  extortion and kidnapping country in the world? Mexico. What American is  going to keep their money there?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Those dangers are one reason  international clients want their finances to remain private. The  regulation does include a clause that gives the IRS the option of  withholding\/\/ financial information in certain situations, but Miami  bankers say that this vague promise is not enough to reassure clients.  worried about their financial privacy and physical safety.\u201c[Reciprocity]  is a great concept if authorities on both sides are reputable, adhere  to standards of confidentiality and have a government structure that  controls this information,\u201d said Carlos Fernandez-Guzman, president of  Miami-based Pacific National Bank, where more than 70 percent of  depositors are foreigners. \u201cBut that is not necessarily the case in all  these countries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have Latin American customers who say \u2018don\u2019t  send me any bank statements; keep them in the U.S. and I\u2019ll pick them up  when I come.\u2019 All of that is for security reasons,\u201d he said. \u201cThey  don\u2019t want people knowing the extent of their wealth, especially what\u2019s  in the U.S., because in their home country it\u2019s a volatile political and  criminal environment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the very least, the new rules are  causing jitters. His larger depositors, \u201cespecially the top 5 to 10  percent,\u201d Fernandez-Guzman said, are \u201cactively beginning to do due  diligence.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>One option for international clients is to put their  money into noninterest-bearing accounts that are not subject to the  disclosure requirements. Savings accounts are earning little interest at  current low rates, and the full amount in checking accounts is insured  under the FDIC\u2019s Transaction Account Guarantee program. Though that is  set to expire at the end of the year, observers say it could be  extended.<\/p>\n<p>The potential loss of foreign deposits comes at the  same time that banks face higher capital reserve requirements and a slew  of new regulations  requiring extensive \u2014 and expensive \u2014 compliance efforts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll of  this kind of adds up to the whole regulatory puzzle that we\u2019re all  trying to navigate,\u201d said Raul Valdes-Fauli, president and CEO of  Professional Bank in Miami. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of uncertainty, and it\u2019s hard  to make sure you\u2019re getting your arms around it and implementing the  necessary measures. This is a huge burden, especially on smaller banks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Still,  Miami\u2019s advantages of language and geography\u2014 factors that originally  helped develop the city\u2019s banking and business culture \u2014 will most  likely continue to attract foreign depositors, especially from Latin  America.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMiami will continue to be Miami,\u201d said Thomas, the banking expert. \u201cJust at a greater cost.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\nRead more here:
