Start with the right banking route
Different banks have different requirements for residents, companies, non-residents and international structures. Choosing the wrong route can create unnecessary delays and additional document requests.
We review your situation first, then identify suitable banking options and prepare the information needed for the application.
- Review residency and ownership
- Understand business activity and expected transactions
- Identify suitable account types
- Prepare KYC and source-of-funds information
- Coordinate the application and follow-up
A complete file matters
Banks may ask for information about beneficial owners, business activity, customers, suppliers, expected turnover and source of funds.
Preparing this information clearly helps reduce avoidable back-and-forth, although the final decision remains with the bank.

Important to know
Before you proceed
Approval is not guaranteed
Banks independently assess every application and may request additional information or decline an application.
Requirements vary by bank
Document requirements, minimum balances and onboarding procedures differ between banks and account types.
Source of funds matters
Applicants should be prepared to explain and document where their funds originate.
Choose for the long term
The cheapest or fastest account is not always the best fit for your expected transactions and business needs.
