Regulated by Cook Islands Financial Supervisory Commission and Cook Islands Financial Intelligence Unit, CSB protects their clients’ deposits under the strong privacy laws and regulations.

The Bank offers cash accounts with access to 25 different currencies, trading accounts, allowing to trade on more than 40 exchanges around the world, precious metal accounts and managed investment accounts.
