Prepare the structure before approaching a bank
Offshore banking applications are often more document-heavy than standard resident business accounts. The bank needs to understand the ownership chain, business purpose and expected movement of funds.
We review the structure and prepare a transparent compliance file before approaching suitable banking options.
- Review corporate structure
- Identify beneficial owners
- Explain commercial purpose
- Document source of funds
- Coordinate enhanced KYC requirements
Transparency is essential
International banking relationships are subject to KYC, AML and sanctions screening. Clear and consistent documentation is therefore critical.
We help organise the information required by the bank without attempting to bypass its compliance procedures.
