Corporate bank account assistance
The bank account is the hidden bottleneck.
For a new company with a foreign shareholder and director, opening a corporate account is often harder than incorporation. We guide you through the KYC of both traditional and digital banks, and prepare the documents they expect to see.
Banks run their own checks to confirm a company is a real, operating business before they open an account. Traditional banks tend to take longer and ask for more. Digital banks are faster but still require substantial documents. We help you present a clean, credible case so the process is as smooth as it can be. Going in unprepared is how foreign-owned companies get declined and have to start over, so we get the case right before you apply. The bank makes the final decision.
What banks want to see
The documents that prove you are real.
- A clear business plan and description of activity
- A real office and tenancy agreement
- A professional company website
- Proof of funds and the source of those funds
- Director and shareholder background
- Incorporation documents and company profile
Your company website is itself one of the documents banks look for. We can build that too.
Traditional or digital
We help you pick the right route.
The best option depends on your business, your funds and how quickly you need to transact. We explain the trade offs plainly, prepare your application package, and guide you through the onboarding for whichever route fits.
- Traditional banks: established, slower, heavier KYC, may want an in-person meeting
- Digital banks: faster, often remote onboarding, still document heavy
- We prepare the package and coach you through the questions
How to improve your odds
Most rejections come down to looking thin.
Applications stall for predictable reasons. Addressing them before you apply is most of the work:
- Show real activity, not just a registration
- Have a real office and a clear business description
- Document your source of funds clearly
- Put a credible website and online presence in place
- Capitalise the company sensibly rather than with a token amount
We never handle your banking credentials or your money. We prepare the case and guide you; you complete the bank's own steps.
Common questions
Why is it hard for a foreign-owned company to open an account? +
Banks must satisfy strict know your customer rules. A new company with overseas owners and no track record is harder to verify, so they ask for more evidence that the business is real. Preparing that evidence well is most of the battle.
Can you guarantee the account will be opened? +
No. The bank decides. What we do is present a clean, credible application and prepare you for the questions, which gives you the best chance.
Do you handle the bank login or my money? +
No. We never handle your banking credentials or funds. We prepare documents and guide you. You complete the bank's own steps yourself.
