Open a Bank Account in Czech Republic
Our banking connection in the Czech Republic welcomes foreign-owned EU companies, foreign companies, and offshore companies, including trust structures and foundations, to open bank accounts in CZK, EUR, GBP, USD, and RUB. Our bank also offers internet banking, payment cards, trade finance services, investment products, among others. There are no minimum initial deposit or ongoing balance requirements.
The Czech Republic is part of the Single Euro Payments Area and provides International Bank Account Numbers (IBAN), meaning that businesses and individuals banking in the Czech Republic may enjoy low fees and fast settlement on transactions within the European Union.
Our bank in the Czech Republic is an option to consider for foreign-owned EU, non-EU and offshore companies that wish to deal in EUR, and access EU banking services to do business within the EU.
We can help you open business accounts in the Czech Republic. Accounts are available for both resident and non-resident companies. We invite you to carefully review their requirements and services to better understand if their banking services meet your needs.
Our banking support service is not just a mere introduction to the bank. We assist you in filling out the business questionnaires appropriately and help you understand and provide business details, commercial information and purpose/use of the bank account that a given bank wants to know in order to approve your account application. Banks want certainty and clarity on how the account will be used. Everything must be watertight. We will work with you to make sure there is minimal ‘back and forth’ and a smooth account opening process.
