What applicants should expect
Georgian banks must comply with applicable sanctions and their internal risk policies. The review may consider where you live and work, employers or companies, banks used, counterparties, source of funds and any links to sanctioned persons, entities or sectors.
- Passport and lawful residence evidence
- Current address and tax residence
- Employment or business documents
- Six months or more of statements where requested
- Detailed source-of-funds evidence
- Clear Georgian banking purpose and expected transactions
Sanctions and enhanced due diligence
Screening is not limited to a name on a list. Ownership, control, counterparties, transaction routes and business sectors can matter. We do not assist with concealing facts, sanctions evasion or misleading a bank. Full disclosure is essential.
A practical preparation strategy
Prepare a chronological explanation of residence and employment, identify all relevant citizenships and tax residencies, and document how money was earned and moved. If a bank or payment account was closed or restricted, disclose and explain it truthfully when asked.
Информация на русском языке
Гражданство Беларуси само по себе не означает автоматическое одобрение или отказ. Банк индивидуально оценивает место проживания, налоговое резидентство, работу или бизнес, происхождение средств, контрагентов и санкционные риски.
Мы помогаем подготовить анкету KYC, перечень документов и логичное объяснение цели счёта. Окончательное решение всегда принимает банк. Мы не помогаем скрывать информацию или обходить санкции.
