What is required to open a corporate account?
Over the last decade tighter controls have been enforced through inter-governmental bodies such as Financial Action Task Force (FATF) to combat money laundering and financing of terrorism. No doubt this has had an impact on businesses and financial institutions including banks, whose conditions now require us to get closer to having a full understanding of the activities of the company, identify the key persons and carry out the necessary due diligence requirements. A certified copy of the client's passport and proof of their residential address is required to support the application forms.
