Opening an account abroad
Collaborating with foreign partners, establishing branches in other countries, and other aspects of operating overseas require having a bank account. IFB provides comprehensive services for opening business and personal checking accounts, from consultations on choosing financial institutions to providing clients with requisites.
Banking services for businesses abroad are also available in digital format. For instance, EMI (Electronic Money Institution) is a license for issuing virtual money that helps diversify risks and reduce operational costs for clients in both digital financial services and traditional banks. Additionally, an EMI license allows business owners to process payments, conduct debit or credit transfers, and perform other standard financial operations.
Our consulting company will help you select the appropriate solution for managing fiat electronic currency.
Types of bank accounts
- Personal account for individuals. Our experts assist in compiling a complete document package for the bank, as well as prepare responses to the financial institution’s inquiries. All that is required from the client is an internal and international passport.
- Corporate account for companies. We provide assistance in company registration, opening foreign bank accounts tailored to clients’ requirements. We assemble the document package and submit them for account opening in a foreign bank either online or in person. For non-residents to obtain requisites, corporate documents of the company, data on beneficiaries, directors, and authorized signatories will be needed.
Opportunities and benefits of foreign bank accounts for foreigners
To successfully develop a business and enter the international market, having a clear and well-thought-out strategy is essential. One of its key elements will undoubtedly be opening a multi-currency account in a foreign bank. Such a decision significantly simplifies conducting transactions in different currencies and facilitates fund conversions, which is particularly relevant for companies collaborating with foreign partners from various countries.
Business owners can also open offshore accounts, which allow them to preserve capital during political instability and currency devaluation.
Opening an account in a foreign bank provides you with several advantages:
- High level of confidentiality for your data
- Flexible account usage conditions and 24/7 access
- Convenient account management and personal manager support
- Favorable investment and deposit placement offers
- Option to open a multi-currency account
- Guarantees for fund retrieval in case of bank bankruptcy (common practice in EU banks)
- No limits on transaction amounts
