Overview

An Irish operating company normally needs banking that matches its ownership, activity and expected transaction profile.

Coutts prepares the banking case and coordinates introductions to suitable banks or regulated payment providers, subject to provider acceptance. Coutts Consultants coordinates irish business bank account introduction as a defined Irish professional service.

The engagement begins with the client's objective and a service-specific review of business model, Irish nexus, ownership, directors, customers and suppliers, expected turnover, currencies, source of funds and KYC. We then establish the appropriate route, assemble the required information and coordinate the filing, application or professional work with the relevant Irish authority, institution or specialist. Where Irish law reserves the work to a solicitor, tax adviser, auditor, immigration practitioner or other regulated professional, that work is undertaken by an appropriately qualified provider.

Registrations, licences, permits, banking and regulatory approvals remain subject to the decision of the relevant authority or institution.
