Offshore banking advice

I'm after an offshore account with as much prototection as possible from it's onshore parent bank as possible. I've had a look at some of the other threads but they don't really cover the 'safety' side of it which is obviously looking more important at the moment.
can someone point me towards a reputable account.

What should one look for when considering an off-shore bank account?

Primarily multiple currency and additionally my (reasonably) frequent changes of location mean I think it would be worthwhile. Uk banks don't seem to offer too many competetive accounts for non-residents

That does seem to be the thought that comes into most peoples minds when you mention offshore accounts but I see it as entirely legitimate for what I want.

In case it's not clear, by 'safe' I mean that it has a parent company that will back its liabilities to depositors.

To avoid Labours proposed wealth tax maybe?

Holy thread resurrection....
