Global Banking Solutions for high and low risk businesses

By Diego Reppas | January 5, 2022

Where should you open a bank account?


In recent times, banking has become the general hurdle for entrepreneurs who wish to operate globally. With increased KYC/AML regulations, traditional banks are more cautious with opening bank accounts for clients. This is the underlying reason for the fragmentation within the banking industry at the moment. There are banks that focus on domestic, traditional, low-risk businesses. Likewise, there are banks that target high-risk industries and do not mind working with foreign shareholders/directors.


Through our years of experience and specialization in this world, we have built up a large network, and we can help you and your business find the right bank and open an account. We use a personal approach and look for the best and fastest solution for your company.
