Why Opening Business Accounts Is Challenging for Funds & Institutions

For funds and institutional finance professionals, opening a business account isn’t just a formality — it’s a strategic necessity. Yet in today’s landscape, gaining access to local banking infrastructure in key investment jurisdictions like Luxembourg, Ireland, the UK, Singapore, or the U.S. is often a painful and protracted process.

Accessing Local Business Accounts Without Physical Presence or Local UBOs

These obstacles directly impact your ability to launch vehicles, receive capital calls, or move at the speed of opportunity.

Proof of local economic substance

Opening an account in a key investment jurisdiction often requires proof of local economic substance — such as an in-country director, physical office, or tax residency.

Delays, restructuring requirements, or even outright rejections.

For global fund managers and institutional investors operating from offshore jurisdictions or via layered SPVs.

Onboarding Friction for Complex Ownership Structures

Complex Legal Entity Structures

Most institutions operate through intricate legal setups — umbrella funds, feeder structures, nominee shareholders, or cross-border entities.

Compliance Challenges with Traditional Providers

Traditional providers are not equipped to interpret these models, leading to lengthy compliance back-and-forths, ambiguous requirements, and frustrating rejections.

Delays That Impact Competitive Advantage

Traditional providers are not equipped to interpret these models, leading to lengthy compliance back-and-forths, ambiguous requirements, and frustrating rejections.

Disconnected Treasury Infrastructure Across FX, Payments, and Fund Flow Management

This leads to inefficient FX pricing, hidden costs, delayed settlements, and limited transparency across portfolios and jurisdictions — making treasury oversight and investor reporting far more challenging than it needs to be.

Fragmented solutions

Once accounts are live, institutions often find themselves stuck with fragmented solutions: separate providers for FX, multi-currency holding, mass payouts, or NAV-based fund distributions.

Institutional Payments Without the Legacy Friction

Funds and institutions demand more than just a place to store capital. You need fluidity, control, and infrastructure built for the real-world dynamics of cross-border investment, multi-entity management, and FX exposure.
