Prepare the account-opening documents
I help prepare the account-opening documents and forms. We organize supporting evidence for account holders or beneficiaries and, for company accounts, the companies involved.
Find a bank that fits your needs
We clarify your circumstances, business activity and required services, including everyday banking, international transfers or a property project. This informs the search for a bank suited to your profile and intended use.
Negotiate banking fees
I discuss fees with the bank for the services and transactions you expect to use. We review the proposed terms together, subject to confirmation by the bank.
Find the right banker, in your language
I look for a contact suited to your application and preferred language: French, English, Spanish or another language. Your language preference guides the search, depending on available contacts.
Prepare for the first funds transfer
We prepare documentation for the bank ahead of your first transfer, based on the source of funds, where they will be sent from and the purpose of the transfer. The aim is to anticipate requested evidence and facilitate discussions; the bank may request additional documents.
Coordinate remote or in-person opening
I coordinate application preparation and discussions with the banker for a remote or branch-based process, depending on the bank’s arrangements. Identification, signing and any required attendance are confirmed with the bank.
A personal or company account
For individuals, we clarify the holders, their residence and intended transactions. For companies, we separate company documentation from beneficiaries’ documents. The aim is an application reflecting the real use of the account rather than a generic file.
The right documents from the start
For a personal account, prepare the two identity documents and latest tax assessment requested for each holder. For a company, beneficiaries’ evidence and the relevant company documents complete the preparation. Final requirements and any additional evidence are confirmed with the bank.
