The Republic of Seychelles, a group of 115 islands in the Indian Ocean, has a well-regulated and dynamic banking sector. Governed by the Central Bank of Seychelles, established in 1983, the country's banking system ensures stability and reliability for both domestic and international clients.

The banking and financial services in Seychelles operate under stringent regulations to maintain transparency and security. Seychelles was one of the first countries in the region to adopt the Anti-Money Laundering Act in 1996, underscoring its commitment to combating financial crimes.

One of the unique features of the Seychelles banking environment is the single licensing regime, allowing banks to conduct both domestic and international (offshore) banking activities without needing separate licenses. This flexibility makes Seychelles an attractive destination for international business.

As of the end of 2018, there are eight licensed commercial banks in Seychelles. Two of these, Seychelles Commercial Bank and Nouvobanq, are fully or majority-owned by the government, while the rest are subsidiaries of foreign banks.

Opening an offshore bank account in Seychelles offers many advantages, such as multi-currency accounts and internet banking. Most banks require reasonable account deposits, and opening an account does not require signatory travel.
