The manager accepts the documents and initiates the verification procedure (KYC\/AML). Then the waiting period begins.<\/p>\nStep 2: Awaiting the bank\u2019s decision (1\u20133 days)<\/strong> \nThe bank checks your company, beneficial owners, and sources of funds. This is a standard procedure that usually takes\u00a01 to 3 business days<\/strong>. In some cases, if there are additional questions or your business has a complex structure, the timeline may extend.<\/p>\nStep 3: Second visit to sign the contract<\/strong> \nAfter the bank approves the account opening, you will be invited to sign the contract. Only after this step does the account (in most cases) become active.<\/p>\nResult:<\/strong> Self\u2011opening takes at least 2\u20134 days under ideal circumstances, but sometimes stretches to 1\u20132 weeks.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \ud83d\ude80\u00a0Our Advantage: Minimum Visits and Maximum Speed<\/strong><\/h2>\nWe offer an optimised path that saves your time and nerves:<\/p>\n \n- \n
