Frequently Asked Questions
Find quick answers to the most common questions about our company formation, banking, and consulting services.
EU
▼
Yes, non-residents can open a business bank account in the EU. Many banks and regulated fintech institutions accept foreign-owned companies, even if the shareholders or directors do not live in Europe. Approval depends on the company structure, business activity, ownership transparency, and compliance profile.
Yes, many EU banks and electronic money institutions (EMIs) offer fully remote account opening. This usually includes online application, document submission, and video verification without requiring travel to Europe. Some traditional banks may still request an in-person meeting depending on the jurisdiction and risk profile.
Opening an EU business bank account typically takes 1–4 weeks. Fintech institutions may complete onboarding within a few business days, while traditional banks can take longer due to enhanced compliance reviews and additional document requests.
Banks usually require company incorporation documents, passports of directors and shareholders, proof of address, business description, and supporting documents such as contracts, invoices, or bank statements. Additional source-of-funds and source-of-wealth documentation may be requested.
The best provider depends on your business activity, transaction volume, and risk profile. Options include traditional banks such as Deutsche Bank, BNP Paribas, and Santander, as well as digital solutions like Wise, Revolut Business, and Airwallex.
Not always. Some providers accept foreign-registered companies if there is a clear business rationale and the ownership structure is transparent. However, having an EU company generally increases approval chances and provides access to a wider range of banking options.
In most cases, no. Many fintech institutions and several banks offer remote onboarding. However, some traditional banks may request an in-person meeting for directors or authorized signatories, especially for higher-risk businesses.
Yes, startups can open EU business accounts even with limited operating history. Fintech providers are generally more flexible and often have lower requirements compared to traditional banks.
SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area) enables fast and low-cost euro transfers across EU and participating countries. An EU account with SEPA access simplifies payments to customers, suppliers, and partners throughout Europe.
Yes, regulated fintech institutions and EMIs are licensed in the EU and must comply with strict AML and safeguarding requirements. Client funds are typically held in segregated accounts with partner banks.
Yes, many providers accept companies incorporated outside the EU, including Hong Kong, BVI, UAE, UK, and offshore jurisdictions, provided the business model and ownership are transparent and compliant.
Popular jurisdictions include Lithuania, Cyprus, Estonia, France, and Luxembourg, depending on your industry, nationality, and banking requirements.
The right bank depends on your company structure, business activity, shareholder nationality, and expected transaction flows. Working with a specialist can significantly improve approval chances by matching your profile with the most suitable banks and fintech institutions.
