Our specialists advise:

We highly recommend that you consult directly with your selected bank to confirm their specific documentation and account opening procedures before starting your application. Each financial institution may have additional requirements or unique processes, especially for companies with non-resident directors or shareholders. This proactive approach will help ensure a smooth and efficient account opening experience for your business.

 

If you're unsure which option is right for your business or need step-by-step assistance with the account opening process, our team is here to help. We offer tailored consultations to match your corporate structure with the most suitable banking solution in Ireland or across Europe.
