Business accounts: Bosnia and Herzegovina

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 Bosnia and Herzegovina?
Yes, and the entry bar is lower than in the EU. The usual route is to register a local limited liability company and open the account at a bank where the company is registered. A foreign company with no local entity has a much harder time.
Do I need a resident director?
As a rule the director does not have to be resident, but you need a local registered address, and a foreigner needs the relevant permits to work and sign. In practice many companies appoint a local procurator or authorised signatory. Foreign documents must come with a sworn translation.
Do I need an account to pay in share capital?
Yes. Capital goes into a temporary account, the bank issues confirmation for the registration procedure, and once the company is entered in the register the account becomes a normal operating one. Full compliance review happens at that second stage.
What should I know about the banking system?
It is a small sector dominated by subsidiaries of Austrian, Italian, Slovenian and Croatian groups, with supervision split between the two entities. The convertible mark is pegged to the euro under a currency board, so there is effectively no euro exchange risk. Cross-border payments go through correspondents and often draw questions about the payment purpose.
