Why Curacao?
An island of the Dutch Caribbean, and located just off the Venezuelan coast, Curacao is the largest of the ABC-islands. Its 150,000 inhabitants enjoy a tropical climate and a multi-ethnic mix.
The country itself has a stable economy and enforces Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism funding compliance. It is an accepted jurisdiction of the OECD and Caribbean Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering. Its monetary system is regulated by the Central Bank of Curacao and St Maarten.
