Foreign currency account

Transactional account denominated in another state's currency

Foreign Currency Account (FCA) is a transactional account denominated in a currency other than the home currency and can be maintained by a bank in the home country (onshore) or a bank in another country (offshore).

Foreign currency accounts are generally not covered by national deposit insurance schemes.[1][2][3][4] However, such accounts are covered in the United States, within the usual limits, as long the financial institution is insured and the deposits are available for withdrawal inside the U.S.[5]
