FAQ

Can I open a corporate account in Antigua and Barbuda?
Yes, local banks do open company accounts, but the review is slow and demanding - correspondent banking pullbacks in the region pushed requirements up. The smoothest route is through a licensed local agent or lawyer the bank already knows. Companies with no link to the island and no real trading are refused most often.
Does a company in Antigua need a local director?
A resident director is not required to incorporate, but the bank cares about who actually controls the money. A local office, agent or director improves your odds. A bare non-resident structure has a hard time in compliance.
How long does it take to open a bank account in Antigua?
Usually several weeks, depending on how complete your documents are and how complex the ownership is. Banks often come back with follow-up requests, and each round adds time. Nobody can guarantee a date.
Can a company account in Antigua be opened remotely?
Some banks accept opening through a licensed agent with notarised and apostilled documents, while others insist on a meeting or video identification. Terms vary by bank and change over time. Plan on the possibility of travelling in person.
