Bank accounts
Any operating company needs a bank account. It doesn’t matter what type of company it is – offshore or onshore. Below is a list of banks which, up to this date, can open an account remotely without the need of visiting their head office. Instead, you are welcome to send us your documents by courier (list available below) or visit bank representative in London or Moscow whichever is more convenient for you. Please note that we don’t guarantee that the bank will open an account for you. All banks which are presented on this list have English speaking specialists in their account opening departments.
Please note that in order to open a bank account you need to provide:
- - Passport (Notary certified and translated into English);
- - Second National photo ID (e.g. Driver License) (Notary certified and translated into English);
- - Bank Reference Letter with your name and address (Notary certified and translated into English);
- - Utility Bill with your name and address (Notary certified and translated into English).
Additionally some banks may ask you to provide:
- - Six months bank account statement;

There are a lot of other banks, but this list contains banks with which we have had positive experiences. We will update this list as soon as we find new trustworthy banks. If the bank is not in this list, it DOESN’T mean we have had bad experiences – it only means that we didn’t have an opportunity to work with them yet.
