Can I open a "backup" bank account?

I'd like to open up an offshore bank account and have some money in it so that when I get caught, I can quickly get up to speed when I create a new agent.

Is this possible?

Solution 1:

There is no (documented) way of doing this.

All company information, including IP addresses, are randomly generated on a per-agent basis. This means that you cannot create a bank account on one save file and access it on another. Even if you tried, the credentials wouldn't work on the other save file.

Solution 2:

No, the save files in Uplink are completely independant of each other. If you get caught, all your accounts are frozen and the game ends.
