Business banking assistance

The counsel

Account opening is where an unclear structure gets found out. Compliance teams review source of funds, the beneficial ownership chain, the substance behind the company and the plausibility of projected turnover — and decline quietly, without explanation, when something does not add up. We prepare clients properly beforehand: a coherent business profile, evidenced source of wealth, contracts or letters of intent that support the projected activity, and an ownership chart that answers the obvious questions before they are asked. We then introduce clients to relationship managers at local and international banks whose risk appetite genuinely suits the profile, stay engaged through the compliance review, respond to queries on your behalf, and advise on the right account setup — multi-currency, corporate cards, merchant facilities — for how the business actually operates.
