Parallel (Bank) Accounts:

: These are accounts that are mainly used for currency exchange (forex) trading.  They enable currency traders to move funds back and forth between accounts as they buy and sell currencies in different markets.  

: The term "Parallel Account" is frequently used in the UNDERGROUND NETWORK.  It is important to understand the INTERMEDIARIES in the Underground Network usually do not know what they are talking about.  They take the word of another intermediary without question.  

An account at a foreign or offshore bank into which one is supposed to transfer funds for "investment."  The conditions of the account are that a financial group, "funder", trader, dealer, or other alleged financial bigwig will have control over the account in any one of several ways.  The object is so that funds can be used to purchase and sell securities for high yield profits.  One of two things actually happen - either the funds are immediately withdrawn and placed in a scammer's pocket  or the account is used for money laundering, disappearing into the scammer's pocket through a series of transfers.
