Personal accounts: Belize

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 foreigner open a personal account in Belize?
Yes. Belize international banks have long worked with non-residents. The file is strict: certified passport copies, address proof, reference letters and source-of-funds documents. The bank decides, and it can decline without giving reasons.
Do I have to travel to Belize?
Often not. Many banks accept notarised and apostilled documents through an agent or by courier, sometimes with a video interview. Policies change, though, and some banks now insist on meeting you. Confirm this before paying any intermediary.
What is the minimum balance?
International banks set a higher bar than local retail banks, plus monthly fees and a charge on every transfer. There is no single national figure. Budget for the annual running cost, not just the opening deposit.
Is there still bank secrecy in Belize?
Not in the old sense. Belize participates in automatic exchange of financial information and discloses beneficial ownership to competent authorities. A Belize account is a diversification tool, not a way to hide money from your tax office.
