Frequently asked questions
Business banking, explained clearly.
Can every company open a business account?+
No. Financial institutions assess businesses individually and may apply different requirements based on the company, ownership, activity and risk profile.

No. We provide preparation and process assistance. The relevant bank makes its own independent onboarding, compliance and account-approval decision.
Do I need a company registered in Georgia?+
The appropriate structure depends on your plans and circumstances. We can help you understand the general questions to consider, but legal and tax advice should come from the relevant independent professionals.
What information may a bank ask about?+
Banks may consider business activity, ownership, source of funds, expected transactions, countries of operation and commercial rationale, among other factors.
Can you help me understand the next step?+
Yes. A consultation can help clarify what you are exploring and what information may be useful before approaching an institution.
