What issues do non-residents encounter opening business bank accounts?
You’d think with the variety of traditional banks and newer fintech offerings available, helping a customer to open a foreign bank account shouldn’t be too difficult?
For the many directors and shareholders worldwide needing to open an overseas account, the options can often be limited.
The issue lies in the way that traditional banks are run – automated, risk-averse and, as you’d expect from the name, traditional.
In the past, opening a bank account within a country required a matching passport. For residents, no problem. But for non-residents looking to break into a new market, such a technicality became a barrier – and an outdated one at that.

Enter 3S Money. Born from our co-founder’s need to open an overseas account, only to find himself rejected by global red tape, he sensed an opportunity.

What are the benefits of opening IBANs through a 3S Money account?
With a 3S Money International Business Account, there’s no time-consuming trip down to your local traditional bank to produce your documents.
No need to hire a foreign director or accountant just to trade within a country’s borders. Whether you’re a business or an entrepreneur, access to a local IBAN helps streamline cross-border payments through our platform.
In a world of automation and chatbots, we also offer that much-needed human touch. Blockages and delays created by traditional bank AML checks are now a thing of the past!
