原文是:A shell bank is a financial institution that does not have a physical presence in any country.

实际营业


Explanation:
physical presence = 实际运作营业



例句 1:physical presence in court = 亲自出庭

(而不会说成 ‘实体’ 出庭)

例句 2: 典型的例子就是在当地国设了境外公司后,不会在当地国有人员实际运作营业的公司(No Physical Presence & Management),可在当地开立户头,收入均得源自海外



全句建议翻译为:



不会在任何国家有实际营业

(的金融公司)

个人认为这样较符合语境和中文自然表达方式。

供参考。

disagree  jyuan_us: 你的意思等於告訴讀者這個公司沒有營業,這個和原意正好相反。

  -> 真的吗?你看清楚了我的建议没有?如果问者经详细考虑后采用我的建议,只要写成 ”Shell 银行是一个金融机构,没有在任何国家有实际营业” ,个人认为正好和原文意思相同,即没有在任何国家开设办公室和雇用员工。参阅上面论坛,有更多相关海外银行条例信息参考。

实质性存在


Explanation:
没有实质性存在或者徒有虚名

所谓的“空壳银行”,是指在获准其成立的辖区内既没有实质性存在(physical presence),也不附属于任何受到有效并表监管的金融集团的银行。实质性存在是指设在当地的有意义的人员和管理设施(meaningful mind and management),当地的代表处或者低级职员不在此列
