Opening an Account for a Singapore Company in a Macedonian bank

Opening a corporate account for a Singapore company is not as obvious a task as it might seem. It has several solutions, and all of them are far from perfect. Banks of reputable European jurisdictions (most often these are classic onshore companies) will require a fairly large package of documents from the company when opening a corporate account and are extremely reluctant to work with businesses that use a nominee service. In addition, the level of confidentiality they provide can only be called minimally sufficient.

Offshores are simpler in this regard. The level of requirements for potential customers is much lower in them. But if your company in Singapore conducts real business, it is important to take into account not only the conditions of the bank, but also the reputation of the jurisdiction, and offshore companies do not look very good in this regard. But there is a solution to this predicament. If you are interested in opening a corporate account for a company in Singapore, you should take a closer look at the Bank of Macedonia.
