Why Opening Business Accounts Is Challenging for Large Corporates

For multinational corporates with global operating models, opening business accounts in strategic jurisdictions like Luxembourg, Ireland, the UK, Singapore, and the U.S. is anything but straightforward. Despite scale, credibility, and internal resources, corporate finance teams are still slowed down by outdated banking infrastructure, fragmented onboarding processes, and jurisdictional red tape.

Disparate Banking Requirements Across Jurisdictions

Jurisdictional Banking Requirements Are Inconsistent

From beneficial ownership thresholds to in-country substance rules, banking standards vary dramatically across markets — even within key financial jurisdictions.

Lack of Transparency in Onboarding

Corporate finance leaders often face opaque documentation requests, unpredictable timelines, and rejection without clear explanation. This is compounded when non-resident directors or complex group structures are involved.

Decentralised Accounts, Siloed Visibility, and Operational Drag

Without a unified infrastructure, corporates must manage multiple accounts across different institutions, each with their own login, KYC cadence, support process, and payment format. Treasury ends up reconciling manually across silos, while senior leadership lacks real-time clarity on cash positions, liquidity forecasts, and FX exposure.

Inefficient Cross-Border Payments and FX Management

When international payments and FX are spread across various banks and platforms, corporates suffer from inconsistent rates, fragmented execution, and poor cost predictability.

Inflexible FX Solutions Increase Risk

Static FX rates, lack of hedging tools, and restricted access to illiquid currencies prevent corporates from managing risk effectively — especially in emerging markets or high-volume environments.

Legacy Banks Can’t Support Local Payments

Our legacy banks couldn't support local payments in Luxembourg, Ireland, Sweden or Singapore. We ended up routing everything through USD, adding both cost and risk.”— CFO, International FMCG Group
