Open a Bank Account in Liechtenstein
Liechtenstein is a member of the European Economic Area (an organization that acts as a bridge between the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) and the European Union) since May 1995. Its economy, despite its small size and scarcity of natural resources, is highly industrialized, free-enterprise oriented and has the third highest per capita income in the world, after Qatar and Luxembourg. It has an important financial center, specialized in financial services for foreign entities and wealth management for non-resident individuals.
We can help you open bank accounts in Liechtenstein.
Accounts are available for individuals.
We work with 3 different banks in Liechtenstein.
Each bank has different eligibility requirements, types of accounts available and onboarding processes.
We invite you to carefully review each banks requirements and services below to better understand if their banking services meet your needs:
- Bank Frick (Corporate)
- Bendura Bank (Corporate, Personal)
- VP Bank (Corporate, Personal)
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.
