Opening bank accounts for high-risk businesses

Opening a corporate account for projects in the cryptocurrency, fintech or gambling sectors is traditionally the most challenging task when entering the European market. Czech banks impose the strictest compliance requirements, demanding a transparent ownership structure and a detailed justification of the origin of funds. As part of our specialist consultancy, we help you prepare a flawless set of documents in advance that will meet the requirements of financial institutions. Our specialists analyse your business model in detail to identify supportive banks or reliable alternative payment systems (EMIs) for legal operations. Thanks to the correct positioning of your business, you will be able to avoid sudden account freezes and ensure the smooth processing of international transactions.

Implementation of AML/KYC procedures and protection against fines

No high-risk project can operate legally within the European Union without strict compliance with international anti-money laundering regulations. Czech state regulators regularly check the existence and effective functioning of internal customer identification (KYC) procedures in tech start-ups. We conduct a thorough audit of your current business processes and help you establish a robust transaction monitoring system in full compliance with EU directives. Our experts identify legal vulnerabilities in your project in advance, which could lead to the revocation of your licence or the imposition of significant fines. Professional configuration of your compliance policy not only protects you from sanctions but also significantly boosts trust among your European B2B partners.
