Bank Account Opening (Corporate & Personal)

Bank Account Opening (Corporate & Personal)

Give the account a clear purpose

A useful banking brief explains who will hold the account, why it is needed and how it will be used. Separate personal needs from company transactions. For a business, describe the activity, customer base, counterparties and currencies before comparing providers.

Keep the story consistent

The ownership records, business explanation and supporting documents should describe the same operation. Keep a list of missing information and resolve inconsistencies before submission. Banks conduct their own customer review, so a prepared file cannot guarantee an account.
