If your company is registered in Singapore, opening a corporate account with the Bank of Belize on a remote basis is sometimes mistakenly perceived as a forced compromise. It is believed that serious business and offshore jurisdictions are a bad match, so the banks of tax-free territories are described by numerous “experts” as “unreliable” and “doubtful”. They insist on it even more vehemently if you say that you want to open a corporate account remotely for a company that is registered in a solid jurisdiction.
But is that really so? Our experience shows that it is not.
The Bank of Belize is selected as a financial partner after careful analysis of all its advantages and disadvantages, not as a last resort for desperate businessmen. We offer this jurisdiction if your company registered in Singapore needs a stable and predictable financial institution, not a bank to carry out a one-time questionable transaction.
Therefore, opening a corporate account with the Bank of Belize for a company with registration in Singapore is not something to be treated condescendingly:
- Banking in Belize is NOT a compromise, a manifestation of weakness, or a mistake of any kind.
- It IS a really good business option that is actively used by entrepreneurs who rely on facts rather than popular myths.
The main thing is to approach the planning stage properly, prepare all the necessary documents, and forget about gray, dubious schemes of aggressive tax optimization or money laundering. A corporate account for a company in Belize is about serious business for the future!
Working with a bank in Belize has its peculiarities that are not obvious at first glance. The requirements for potential customers are more loyal here, and rates and terms of service are more profitable. The only disputed point is the offshore status of Belize… Well, let’s emphasize again that a bank with such a background may be considered risky, but not if you are talking about Belize! Opening a corporate account here for a company in Singapore will cover all of your business requirements – at least in the short to medium term.

Document Package
As we said, you will have to meet quite modest requirements set by the Bank of Belize to open a corporate account for a Singapore company. Despite this fact, the preparation stage should still be approached with due care, and that is where our experts can help. The bank needs to get a clear idea of the business and operations you are going to conduct. All that may look pretty logical in your head – but not on paper, which leads to refusals for many entrepreneurs who try to open a corporate account themselves. Our service involves analysis of your business and choosing a winning strategy for its presentation to the bank.
Attention! Based on the current situation, it is not possible to open a corporate account for a company whose business partners are registered in the Russian Federation, or whose direct owners are Russians. If this unpleasant situation changes, we will immediately inform you about it!
