  • Financial Secrecy Index (FSI) is a combined metric. Each country is first given a financial secrecy score which ranges from 0 (no secrecy) to 100 (full secrecy). These scores are then combined with the volume of international customers exploiting this secrecy to determine the final FSI score. Higher values indicate greater money-hiding tendency or capacity. The secrecy ratings are broken out for the table below.
  • Different sources use different methodology to determine which countries are the “best” at hiding money/financial secrecy. As such, the list created by the Tax Justice Center differs from that of Statrys, Best Citizenships, and so on.
  • Countries may be considered good places to hide money for a variety of reasons. Switzerland is known for its devotion to protecting the privacy of owners of financial accounts. The United States, by comparison, is known for the ease with which “shell” companies can be created to obscure wealth.
