What we help with

One coordinated route from documents to bank review.

Requirements differ by bank and client profile. We organise the information, explain the dependencies and help you approach the process with a coherent file.

KYC file preparation

Ownership, UBOs, business model, expected turnover, counterparties and funds explained in a bank-ready structure.

B

Suitable bank review

We compare practical requirements against your nationality, residence, ownership and intended business activity.

C

Bank communication

Questions and document requests coordinated in English so the application stays consistent and understandable.

S

Ongoing support

Accounting handover, tax coordination and operational support after onboarding, where separately agreed.

How it works

Five practical steps — with expectations set early.

  1. 01

    Free first review

    We review nationality, residence, ownership, planned activity and the type of account required.

  2. 02

    Document checklist

    You receive a case-specific list rather than a generic collection of documents.

  3. 03

    KYC preparation

    We help structure the ownership, activity, turnover and source-of-funds explanation.

  4. 04

    Bank onboarding

    We coordinate the application, meeting and follow-up questions with appropriate institutions.

  5. 05

    Operational support

    Where agreed, we support online banking, accounting handover and next business steps.

Your KYC file

Clarity is the strongest starting point.

Banks need to understand who controls the company, how it earns revenue and where funds will move.

A complete file can reduce avoidable follow-up, but it does not replace the bank’s independent compliance decision.

Frequently asked questions

Banking decisions are case-specific.

We will tell you what is predictable, what depends on the bank and what information is still missing.

Do I need to be in Serbia?

Many banks require at least one in-person meeting. The exact route depends on the bank, nationality, residence, ownership and activity. We assess this before suggesting a plan.

Can a non-resident open an account?

Some Serbian banks consider non-resident clients, but acceptance and documentation vary by profile. Every application remains subject to the bank’s own KYC and AML review.

How long does bank onboarding take?

Timing depends on the completeness of the file and the bank’s review. We confirm realistic next steps after reviewing your circumstances rather than promising a fixed approval date.

Is opening an account guaranteed?

No. Every bank retains sole discretion to approve, request additional documents or decline an application. Our role is to prepare and coordinate a clear, complete submission.
