We specialize in complex offshore structures

Our clients often have sophisticated needs that require intricate banking solutions. This frequently involves creating a network of offshore, mid-shore, and onshore entities and establishing multiple bank accounts across various countries. Individuals seeking to protect their assets through offshore diversification and security may become legal residents of several countries simultaneously, necessitating accounts with multiple banks.

Global banks are increasingly selective when opening accounts for non-resident clients. They tend to favor non-resident clients with clear, transparent business structures and strong reputations. This often leads to challenges for start-up businesses or those with complex ownership structures, not due to ideological reasons but because banks face significant compliance pressures.

We partner with over 200 banks and understand their requirements

Whether you are looking to open a bank account on a picturesque island or in a major financial hub like New York or London, you will face numerous obstacles. We collaborate with more than 200 banks and payment systems globally. These banking relationships are dynamic and constantly evolving due to changes in bank policies and personnel.

We know precisely what questions to ask to assist you in opening a foreign bank account online. By thoroughly understanding your needs, concerns, and opportunities, we can identify the bank or payment system that best aligns with your objectives and will serve your purposes most effectively.

Standard commercial logic does not apply to opening foreign bank accounts.

Ideally, you, the client, would select the bank where you wish to deposit your hard-earned money. Unfortunately, in the realm of international banking, the conventional logic is reversed. It is the foreign bank that decides whether to accept a non-resident client. Foreign banks are cautious about potential risks to their licenses, reputations, accounts, and client bases, and may refuse clients who could pose risks. Senior bank executives and compliance officers can even face legal consequences for knowingly accepting a potentially problematic client.

We maintain close contact with the financial institutions we work with to ensure the efficiency of our services. The process of opening a foreign bank account is complex and time-consuming, demanding professional expertise and experience. With banks under intense regulatory scrutiny, any inaccuracies or ambiguities in the application documents from a non-resident applicant will likely lead to rejection.

All foreign banks have specific criteria that prospective non-resident clients must meet. Our experts will help you determine where you can successfully open personal, private corporate, investment, brokerage, or merchant bank accounts by assessing your chances for compliance and success.

What to need to consider before you open a foreign bank account

While we will handle the majority of the work, opening a personal or corporate account with a foreign bank can be complex. Be prepared to navigate the following four steps:

Select the appropriate bank(s)

Identify banks that align with your primary requirements. Our knowledgeable consultants will assist you through this process. Key considerations include the source of funds, the deposit amount, available documentation, your current and planned business activities, and other pertinent factors. After evaluating the options, you will make an informed decision regarding one or more suitable banks.

Obtain pre-approval

Generally, multiple banks may meet your criteria. We will submit your application for pre-approval to each selected bank on your behalf. This will help narrow down your choices. Our consultant will help you compile the necessary application materials for submission to the bank that has pre-approved you.

Prepare the application documents

This stage is the most demanding and time-consuming. The speed at which you provide necessary documents will significantly impact the process.

We will thoroughly review both personal and corporate documents (if opening a corporate account), including those from any legal entities owning your company, as well as the personal documents of its ultimate beneficial owners (UBOs) and directors. We will ensure the documents meet the bank’s Compliance Department standards, including correct issuance dates, signatures, legibility, and certification of copies.

Complete and Submit Bank Forms

Most banks will pre-fill the necessary forms and contracts. However, we will double-check all data before you sign to avoid errors that could lead to application rejection. Inconsistencies, such as print quality or mismatched signatures, can result in delays or rejections.

We meticulously review all scanned documents to prevent issues that could waste time and money. We will coordinate the submission of all required documents, ensuring they arrive simultaneously. We will monitor the process and keep you updated until your foreign bank account is successfully established and operational.

This outline addresses just a few aspects of the complex process involved in opening a foreign bank account. With our assistance, you can navigate this challenge and maintain an active account abroad.

Frequently asked questions about opening a foreign bank account

What type of foreign/offshore bank account should you open?

We regret having to answer this question with another question, but identifying the most suitable foreign bank account for you involves several fundamental considerations.

Firstly, do you require a personal bank account, a corporate bank account, or both? A personal can be used for day to day payments, managing personal assets, and even make private investments, and they can be opened remotely. Corporate accounts can require more steps, an in-person visit, but they allow you to manage your company.

Establishing both types of accounts with the same bank can be highly advantageous. This arrangement allows for seamless internal transfers, such as receiving director fees or share dividends directly into your personal account, often at no cost and instantly. Should you need to transfer funds to a personal account at another bank, your name will appear as the sender, simplifying the transaction and avoiding the need to explain your relationship with the company.

What if you don’t actually need a foreign bank account?

Occasionally, a client may seek our services but may not truly need a foreign bank account. We are committed to transparency and long-term relationships. If we determine that a foreign bank account is unnecessary for your situation, we will inform you, as our goal is to build enduring client relationships, not just make a sale.

What is the initial required deposit for opening a foreign bank account?

The deposits vary, depending on the bank and the account. They may be more than your local accounts, but, this is because foreign accounts target high-salaried and skilled professionals, and may accept high-risk clients.

How to maintain your foreign bank account in good standing?

Whether you intend to establish a corporate account with an offshore bank for asset protection or as a financial reserve, it’s important to manage it correctly.

For optimized asset protection, you can choose from traditional offshore jurisdictions such as the Caribbean or Marshall Islands, or mid-shore jurisdictions like Dubai, Andorra, or Serbia. Carefully evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of each jurisdiction before registering your company and opening a business bank account. We highly recommend taking advantage of our FREE consultation to help you make an informed decision before proceeding.

You have the flexibility to create multi-jurisdictional structures, such as an offshore company with an onshore bank or a mid-shore company with an offshore bank. However, be prepared to meet both standard and bank-specific requirements. When setting up a corporate account abroad, you will need to provide comprehensive information about your business activities, including details about key business partners and anticipated account turnover.

Banks closely monitor the types of business activities declared at the outset and scrutinize the rationale behind each transaction. Any deviation from the initially declared business activities may result in the abrupt closure of your account if you fail to notify the bank of any unusual payments in advance. Be ready to provide supporting documentation, such as agreements and invoices, promptly when requested by your banker or account officer.

The same principles apply to personal bank accounts abroad. For instance, when making deposits, banks may require proof of the legality of your income sources, such as pay stubs, property sale agreements, recent audited financial statements, or loan agreements. It is prudent to maintain accurate accounting records and supporting documents, as banks may request these details months or even years later. In today’s regulatory environment, maintaining precise financial documentation is essential, as banks prefer clients who manage their finances with a high level of professionalism.

Should you open an account remotely or in-person?

We collaborate with numerous banks that offer the option to open accounts remotely, without the need for an in-person visit. However, since bank managers will not have the opportunity to meet you face-to-face, they will depend solely on your application documents and a video conference to decide on your account opening.

As a result, the remote process may be more rigorous, potentially requiring additional documentation to meet the bank’s criteria. However, it obviously saves you a trip to a country that may be quite far from your location. Overall, the answer will depend on your circumstances and the bank’s requirements.

How long does it take to open a foreign bank account?

Most clients wish to establish a foreign bank account within a few days, with some expecting it to be completed even sooner. However, based on our experience, the process typically requires at least seven to ten days, and in more complex cases, it can extend to several months. Here’s why:

1. Document Collection and Submission: You need to gather and submit the necessary application documents. Once received, we meticulously review them before forwarding them to the bank. Although we expedite this process, we prioritize accuracy over speed. Any minor errors can cause significant delays, so we ensure every detail is correct.
2. Due Diligence Checks: Banks conduct due diligence checks that can vary widely in duration. The time required for these checks depends on the bank’s workload and can range from a few days to several weeks. This variability can occur even within different branches of the same bank.
3. Completeness of Application: The speed of the account opening process is also influenced by the completeness of your application. For corporate accounts, the information about your company and its anticipated financial activities must be thorough and consistent.
4. Initial Deposit Requirements: Some banks require an initial deposit before they begin processing your application. Each bank has specific requirements regarding the amount and the nature of the transaction, such as a SEPA zone bank transfer or a SWIFT payment. We will provide you with all necessary details about the initial deposit when you apply for our services.
5. Document Submission Methods: While many banks now handle remote account openings online, some still require physical documents to be sent by courier.
