Opening a business bank account can be difficult for many of those currently living and operating abroad. Every new bank–customer relationship must now evidence compliance with both legal and reputational regulations.
For business owners, this now means they must provide complete details of ownership as well as sources of wealth. On top of this, each bank has different risk thresholds and customer application processes. These changes have made setting up a business bank account in the UK a much more complex challenge in recent years.
