Is it possible for a non-resident to open a business bank account in the UK or EU ?
The answer is yes, however, it can be a complex process. The level of difficulty may vary depending on the size and type of your business. At Open, we are here to help you through this process and take care of all the required steps for you.
What are the costs associated with our services ?

The cost varies depending on the specific circumstances of your case. We don’t charge any fees until your application is pre-approved by a financial institution or EMI. Once pre-approved, we charge a 50% fee. The remaining 50% will be invoiced once your bank account is established.

On average, the cost ranges from €1,000 to €5,000 per account, which is significantly cheaper compared to similar services on the market.

What kind of information will be required in the process?

Our goal is to make the process of opening a bank account as simple as possible for you. Therefore, we will not ask for a lot of unnecessary information. The questionnaire will be short and designed to help us identify any potential issues with your application and match you with the right banking partner that suits your needs.

Here are some examples of the types of questions you can expect in the questionnaire:

  • What is the purpose of opening a UK/EU business bank account?
  • Which currencies will you need to use?
  • What is the size and nature of your business?
  • What is the expected monthly volume of transactions?
  • What is your annual revenue?
What kind of documentation will be required ?
