Bank Introductions & Account Management
We maintain relationships with more than thirty banks located in major international and offshore banking centres.
Establishing and maintaining relationships with banks and administering client company bank accounts is complex, especially as the facilities offered by banks and their account opening and maintenance requirements regularly change. Consequently, we employ specialist staff in our banking department who establish relationships with banks, open client company bank accounts and undertake transactions on behalf of clients.
Our Banking Department is able to advise on types of accounts available and details of banks accepting facsimile instructions, credit and debit cards, documentary credit services and online services.
We are familiar with restrictions imposed by different banks; for example, many banks will not accept Eastern European clients, some demand larger initial deposits and ongoing balances whilst others will only accept investment accounts.
The majority of our clients request us to provide account signatories to their corporate bank accounts. The advantages of this arrangement include operational efficiency, a single point of contact and enhanced confidentiality. When we provide account signatories, we will accept facsimile instructions to make transfers and advise on bank balances.
The fees charged for these services are modest and depend on volume and responsibility. Our Banking Department requires clients utilising these services to execute a simple banking indemnity and agreement.
