Cross Border Clients
Clients who are a resident of Canada or the United States often face unique challenges when
they have accounts in the country in which they are not resident. Typically, this is often seen
with regard to American retirement accounts for residents of Canada or Canadian retirement
accounts for residents of the United States.
This is due to a host of factors ranging from regulatory issues to different tax environments in
each country.
Seabank Capital has the ability to manage retirement accounts for cross-border clients whether
they be American retirement accounts or Canadian.
