Personal accounts: Seychelles

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 personal account in Seychelles?

Usually not. Retail accounts are aimed at residents and people working under a permit. Without residence, employment or property on the islands the odds are poor.

What does a resident need to open an account?

Passport, residence or work permit, proof of address and proof of income, sometimes reference letters. The process is paper-based and remote onboarding is essentially not offered.

Are there limits on transfers?

There is no hard exchange control, but banks document large transactions and the correspondent network is thin. In practice international payments are slow and not cheap.

Does Seychelles exchange data under CRS?

Yes, Seychelles participates in CRS. The old idea of Seychelles banking secrecy no longer holds - account data goes to your country of tax residence.
