Business accounts: Bermuda

An honest assessment before work starts, the quote is fixed in writing.

We assess your chances against your profile, prepare the compliance file, help you present your source of funds properly and handle communication with the bank until it decides. The final decision always rests with the bank, so no one can guarantee an opening - careful preparation simply improves the odds.

We quote the exact cost for this country after a short consultation: it depends on the bank and your residency. The quote is fixed in writing before work starts.

FAQ

Can a company open a bank account in Bermuda?
It can, but the market is tiny: only a few licensed banks operate on the island and they are highly selective. Their clients are insurers and reinsurers, funds, large groups and companies with a genuine local footprint. A small business with no Bermuda link is usually declined.
Do I need a presence in Bermuda?
Legally the account is not tied to residency, but banks expect a Bermuda company, a local corporate administrator and a business model they understand. Economic substance requirements apply to several activity types. Without an administrator on the island, applications rarely get looked at.
How does the process work?
Normally through a corporate administrator or law firm that assembles the file and submits it to the bank. Review takes weeks, longer for complex structures, and includes interviews with beneficial owners. Even a perfect file is not a guarantee of approval.
How much does a corporate account cost?
Bermuda is an expensive jurisdiction: minimum balances and monthly fees run higher than in most financial centres, and terms are tighter for non-resident structures. Pricing is bank-specific and negotiated case by case. Budget for the administrator and audit too, not just the bank.
