KYC file preparation
Ownership, UBOs, business model, expected turnover, counterparties and funds explained in a bank-ready structure.
Bank onboarding for international founders
Business bank account in Serbia — prepared properly.
We help foreign founders prepare a complete KYC file, identify suitable banks and coordinate communication — so the application is clear from day one.
Independent guidance. Bank approval is never guaranteed.
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.
Suitable bank review
We compare practical requirements against your nationality, residence, ownership and intended business activity.
Bank communication
Questions and document requests coordinated in English so the application stays consistent and understandable.
Ongoing support
Accounting handover, tax coordination and operational support after onboarding, where separately agreed.
How it works
Five practical steps — with expectations set early.
- 01
Free first review
We review nationality, residence, ownership, planned activity and the type of account required.
- 02

You receive a case-specific list rather than a generic collection of documents.
- 03

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