Help with opening corporate, safeguarding, sorrespondent accounts
Are business, safeguarding, and correspondent accounts right for your business?
Traditional business setups often involve just a handful of general, operational, and settlement accounts. However, you might need specialized accounts if your company offers additional services like fund transfers, cross-financing projects, or other financial operations involving client or third-party funds.
Many countries’ regulators demand the presence of specialized accounts, such as business, safeguarding, and correspondent accounts, in addition to licenses. These accounts help segregate finances, control funds, and implement algorithms to ensure the safety of money and minimize risks for your business clients.
At IFB, our experts will assist you in selecting the necessary account types and even help you open them at relevant financial institutions.
Here are the different account types
- Corporate. This is the classic digital banking cell for enterprises. It holds finances, including income and investments. Typically, multiple accounts of this type are used for better fund organization.
- Safeguarding. A specialized account for holding clients’ funds. Regulators often require such accounts to ensure the transparency and reliability of financial transactions between users.
- Correspondent. This is an account held by a fintech company or bank in another organization of the same type. It enables international transactions with fiat currency conversion while adhering to strict regulatory requirements and regional laws.
Benefits of having corporate, safeguarding, and correspondent accounts
The primary advantage lies in obtaining regulatory approval to operate within your chosen sector in the country where your company is registered. Alongside this, you can offer a range of additional financial services. For instance, you can engage in fund transfers, provide startup financing, and more.
Moreover, having business, safeguarding, and correspondent accounts allows you to:
- Engage in B2B, C2B, and C2C business transactions.
- Effectively manage accounts by allocating funds to separate cells.
- Monitor the budget’s status more efficiently and mitigate risks.
- Plan future operations, scale your company, and invest in projects.
- Earn commissions for transactions, money-related activities, and more.
Depending on your company’s line work, you need to open one or several of these account types. It’s indeed a complex task, considering the typical requirements of banks and financial institutions. However, there’s no need to worry because the key routine of this operation will be taken care of by the experts at IFB.
