Opening a bank account in Singapore

At the moment, Singapore is the largest financial center of the Asian region and a recognized leader in providing financial services to the East. The local banking sector is represented by many branches of a large number of the world’s largest banks, as well as local financial institutions. So what makes Singapore so attractive for foreign investment and deposit management? Let’s consider why we recommend you opening a bank account in Singapore.

What is required to register a bank account in Singapore?

One of the most significant innovations in Singapore’s financial legislation is the complication of checking out a potential foreign investor. Unfortunately, special attention of local authorities is paid to clients from the CIS countries due to the low reputation of business in the countries of the post-Soviet space. When submitting an application, the legality of the origin of assets is carefully checked to prevent money laundering and tax evasion.

Among the basic documents required to open an account with banks in Singapore are:

• Passport.
• A certificate confirming your permanent address.

Many banks also require a letter of recommendation from the previous financial institution of your country, whose services you used before.
