Business accounts: Ireland

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 non-resident open a bank account for an Irish company?
Yes, but Irish banks look for a genuine link to Ireland: an office, staff, customers or contracts. A company with no local activity is refused routinely. Many foreign owners end up on an EMI account with an IBAN instead.
Do I need an EEA-resident director in Ireland?
Irish company law requires at least one EEA-resident director, or a Section 137 bond in place of one. The bank treats this separately and will still assess where the company is actually managed.
What does an Irish bank ask for when opening a company account?
Ownership down to the ultimate beneficial owners, a description of the business, expected turnover and counterparty countries, source of funds and proof of address for every director. Expect several rounds of follow-up questions.
How long does it take to open a business account in Ireland?
Weeks rather than days. Several banks left the Irish market, so competition dropped and onboarding queues grew. A complete file and a clear business model are the only real accelerators.
