The process

Five clear steps. We tell you the realistic timeline on the first call and meet it.

01
Profile review

We assess your company, ownership and activity against what banks actually require.

02
Dossier preparation

We build a complete, consistent KYC/UBO/source-of-funds file — the part most applications get wrong.

03
Bank matching

We match you to a bank whose eligibility and risk appetite fit your profile.

04
Introduction & submission

We introduce you and submit the prepared file, and prep you for any bank questions.

05
Account live

You're banked and ready to transact.

Common pitfalls

An unclear ownership structure

If the bank can't see who ultimately owns and controls the company, the file stalls. We map it cleanly before submission.

An incomplete source-of-funds trail

A trail that stops one step short triggers questions or rejection. We make sure it reaches a legitimate origin.

Applying to the wrong bank

Not every bank wants every profile. Applying to one that doesn't fit your nationality mix, industry or geography is a common, avoidable rejection.

Reapplying with the same file after a rejection

Resubmitting an unchanged file gets the same answer. We find what went wrong and fix it first.

Frequently asked

Real questions from real calls.

Yes — this is a core part of what we do. We rebuild the file, fix the gaps that caused the decline, and resubmit to a bank that fits your profile. In one case we secured a Tier-1 account in 11 days after two prior rejections.
