Professional team deeply cultivates Singapore bank compliance requirements, ensuring smooth cross-border financial channels for your enterprise

⚠️ 1、 Opening a Bank Account in Singapore: Opportunities and Challenges Coexist

As an Asian financial center, Singapore attracts global investors with its robust economy and sound legal system. However, under strict anti money laundering (AML) and due diligence (KYC) requirements, opening a bank account in Singapore has become a key challenge for businesses going global.

Data shows that Singapore company registration can be completed in just a few days to two weeks, but the bank account opening process can take up to one to two months. Under the strict supervision of the Monetary Authority (MAS), the intensity of bank reviews on account applications continues to increase, and companies facing many difficulties in applying independently:

⏳ Long review cycle: Enterprise account opening approval generally takes 2-8 weeks, and some cases may take longer due to data issues 📄 High rejection rate of documents: Account opening applications are often repeatedly rejected because the documents do not meet the requirements not explicitly stated by the bank 🔍 Hidden threshold raised: Banks conduct almost strict scrutiny on shareholder backgrounds, funding sources, and business authenticity

🏢 Key points for enterprise account review: Singapore banks implement a "business substance penetration review" for enterprise accounts, focusing on the following aspects: 📑 ● Company qualification documents: Certificate of Registration (CoC), Business Registration Certificate (BR), Articles of Association, Register of Shareholders and Directors 👥 Background of Shareholders and Directors: All shareholders, directors, and UBOs are required to provide identification, address proof, and personal resumes 💼 Proof of Business Authenticity: 2-3 sets of complete business documents (contracts, invoices, bills of lading), business plan, supplier and customer lists 💰 ● Transparency of funding sources: Clearly explain the legality of funding sources, provide corresponding proof, and avoid frequent inflow and outflow of large amounts of funds in the short term

🚨 The following high-risk factors that banks focus on will significantly increase the difficulty of opening an account: • Industry sensitivity (high-risk industries such as cryptocurrency and gambling) • Politically sensitive individuals (PEPs) related shareholders • Complex equity structures or concealed controlling relationships • Newly established companies lacking overseas trading experience

❌ 3、 Analysis of Common Reasons for Account Opening Failure

Understanding the "red lines" of bank audits can effectively avoid common risk points: • Non compliant documents: Address proof documents do not meet bank requirements • Unclear business model description: Business plan lacks specific details • Unreasonable explanation of funding sources: Unable to provide legal funding proof • Industry listed on restricted lists (such as cryptocurrency, adult entertainment, etc.) • Lack of commercial substance: Shell companies cannot provide business proof
