Opening a bank account is an essential step for all companies. Global transparency requirements and enhanced anti-money laundering (AML) regulations have made the process increasingly complex. Many banks now limit account openings for non-resident companies, while others only accept applications introduced by licensed and recognised service providers on their approved introducer lists.

 

Today, banks conduct thorough due diligence, not only at the onboarding stage but also on an ongoing, transactional basis. Requirements and procedures vary widely between banks, and sometimes even between branches of the same institution. The application process can be lengthy, often requiring documents to be certified, notarised, or translated.

 

Intrasia Corporate Services has well-established relationships with most banks in Mauritius and offers support with introductions, documentation, and the full account opening process. While clients may choose any bank they prefer, working with institutions familiar to Intrasia often leads to quicker setup and more favourable terms.

 

Once a corporate account is successfully opened, personal bank accounts can also be arranged.
