We assist businesses in opening corporate bank accounts in Europe, the USA, and other global jurisdictions.
The primary challenge in opening a bank account is the rigorous client verification process required to prevent money laundering and other financial crimes. In practice, this manifests itself as a terrible bureaucracy: a whole folder of documents must be correctly filled in, translated and apostilled.
The situation is further complicated by the fact that residents of Ukraine and the CIS countries are considered high-risk customers by default in many jurisdictions. If this does not lead to denial of service, it is manifested by enhanced transaction monitoring and thorough reputational checks.
The nuances of the procedure depend on the beneficiary’s nationality, the type of company’s activity, and the policy of a particular bank. However, we guarantee that our representation will have a very favourable impact on the decision to provide banking services. Our strong relationships with bank managers help streamline the approval process and enhance your appeal to banks.
The task of our specialists is to simplify the procedure for you as much as possible, eliminate bureaucratic red tape and save you a huge amount of time. We will provide you with consulting and legal support at all stages:
