Georgia has been a favorite of the offshore community for sometime. They will start sharing CRS information in 2023 and cease to be a non CRS country. If confidentiality is important to you it’s better to take action soon to restructure your banking arrangements in the country. You can choose to move your banking to one of the non CRS countries.
The United States or America may be an option if you’re a non US citizen or non US resident. While the United States started this whole craze of ending banking privacy with FACTA they have no obligation to report accounts of non residents or non citizens. They could likely co-operate with any enquiry from your home government though even if they don’t share automatically. If you decide to bank there consider using a corporation and opening the account in its name. There are still good options for incorporation in the USA but banking is generally better and more secure elsewhere.
There are still several decent non CRS banking countries which make good options and some banks will open accounts remotely too.
