The Challenge

Why Opening Business Accounts is Challenging for Private Equity and Investment Firms

Whether you’re deploying capital through an SPV, raising your next PE fund, or distributing returns to LPs across borders—today’s banking systems aren’t built for the realities of modern investment structures. The friction begins at onboarding and follows you through every stage of the capital lifecycle.

Opening Entity Accounts in Key Investment Jurisdictions

Non-Resident Structures Block Access in Key Markets

PE and VC firms frequently need entity-level accounts in high-value financial jurisdictions like Luxembourg, Ireland, the U.S., or Singapore—but global traditional providers are rarely able (or willing) to onboard non-resident funds, SPVs, or layered structures without a local footprint.

Slow Account Approvals Stall Growth

Weeks turn into months waiting for approvals—if they come at all—while deals and capital calls are delayed.

Onboarding Complex Ownership and Fund Structures

Non-Standard Structures Break Traditional Models

Fund vehicles and SPVs don’t follow traditional business models. They often involve multiple shareholders, nominee arrangements, or trustee relationships.

Compliance Dead-Ends for Layered Ownership

Traditional providers lack the compliance agility to process layered UBOs or cross-border mandates, forcing investment firms into repetitive document cycles and compliance dead-ends.

Fragmented FX, Cash Management & Global Visibility

When you're managing global capital calls, investor payouts, or intra-group transfers, relying on local banks or mismatched fintechs creates silos. You lose visibility, suffer from suboptimal FX execution, and risk delays in critical flows—reducing fund efficiency and weakening investor confidence.
