Who We Help
This service is built for
- Non-residents opening personal or business bank accounts in Georgia.
- New founders who need banking after incorporation and want a bank-ready file.
- Clients with complex source-of-funds histories, foreign revenue, or cross-border reporting concerns.
- Applicants who were delayed or rejected and need to rebuild the application story.
What We Handle
Where we add legal value
- Pre-audit of KYC and AML documentation before submission to Georgian banks.
- Source-of-funds narrative preparation for founders, freelancers, and cross-border operators.
- Corporate banking preparation after incorporation, including supporting company documents.
- Remote preparation via POA for the parts of onboarding that can be handled before final identity verification.
Key Checkpoints
What matters under Georgian law
- Georgian banks are applying stronger KYC and AML scrutiny, especially to non-residents and cross-border income profiles.
- The issue is rarely a single missing paper; the problem is usually an inconsistent narrative across contracts, bank statements, and declared activity.
- CRS, sanctions sensitivity, and internal risk scoring mean even a technically complete file can fail if it is not explained well.
Document Prep
Documents to prepare before we start
- Passport and proof-of-address materials.
- Recent bank statements showing income flow.
- Client contracts, invoices, or business documents that explain the origin of funds.
- Company registration documents for corporate banking cases.
- Power of attorney documents where remote prep is required.
Common Mistakes
Where clients lose time, leverage, or money
- Submitting statements or contracts that do not match the declared activity.
- Using generic descriptions for source of funds instead of a precise commercial explanation.
- Approaching corporate bank onboarding before company documents and tax status are fully coherent.
- Assuming a prior refusal can be ignored without rebuilding the file.
Price of Silence
The cost of doing nothing (or doing it wrong)
Silent gaps in your KYC or source-of-funds story can result in blocked transfers, frozen accounts, or account closures—sometimes with tax reporting consequences. We prepare your file and explanations so your banking profile stands up to scrutiny.
The Remote Edge
Remote setup available – no trip required for most steps
For many clients we coordinate with Georgian banks and prepare the necessary POAs so that account opening and compliance can start while you remain abroad.
