Questions
Frequently asked
No - banks require a valid trade licence before opening a corporate account, since the licence confirms your registered activity and jurisdiction. We prepare your banking documents in parallel with licensing so the account application can move as soon as the licence is issued.
Most banks require at least one in-person meeting with a signatory to open a corporate account, though the rest of the process can often be prepared remotely. We tell you which banks best fit your situation if travel is a constraint.
