This service is intended for eligible Estonia businesses with a genuine banking requirement.
Current official e-Residency guidance says local banks normally look for a strong connection to Estonia, while EU payment institutions and other EEA banks provide additional routes for eligible companies.
The provider will normally ask about ownership, identity, source of funds and the expected use of the account.
International ownership or cross-border payments can lead to additional questions, so the information should be complete and consistent.
We help organise the company documents, ownership information and genuine supporting evidence before an introduction is made.
The purpose is to make the application easy to understand, not to create or alter evidence.
We review the requirement, help prepare the application and make an introduction where a suitable current route is available.
