We facilitate opening bank accounts

Banks
We recommend/introduce you to a large banking group in London. Its portfolio covers a wide range of financial services. This bank is a top five world bank and is well known for it's expertise in new companies and companies with strong growth. This particular bank is well known for its ability to service new companies whilst charging relatively low banking and service charges.
WEB banking, phone banking and its credit and debit cards (Master or Visa card) make it possible for you to manage your accounts remotely with ease.
By default, English banks open their accounts in Pounds Sterling but they will also open an additional account in Euros for your convenience.
It will take approximately seven days to open an account if all goes well and all of your paperwork is readily available. The only items the bank requires to open the account are a recent utility bill which confirms your address in France and three months (recent) personal account bank statements.
To comply with anti-terrorist and money laundering laws, the bank must confirm your identity and residency. It will therefore be necessary to go to England personally to open the account and to meet your banker (except in certain circumstances where we can facilitate a remote opening). A personal visit to a new bank is always advisable as it cements your relationship with your banker; in general they are more likely to be flexible with your account after a personal visit. Easy Entrepreneur will provide translators whenever necessary.
Our agreements enable us to open an account without a minimum deposit. We do however advise to deposit an initial sum of 1,000€ if it's at all possible. You will receive: a cheque book for each currency chosen; an international credit card such as Master Card or Visa Card and a debit card for cash withdrawals and other purchases.
Spanish accounts require certified translations
which will increase opening costs. These accounts remain nevertheless
amongst the best in Europe. Our Spanish contacts are extremely
dynamic and have vast experience in working with business people.
