Opening a bank account in the Czech Republic

Bank accounts are opened according to your requirements, but many clients tend to open account not in local financial institutions, but in foreign ones. The reason for the foregoing is different for everyone, namely: intention to bring business to the international level, high interest rates, extended range of services and miscellaneous reasons.

The main problems in opening the account are overcoming the language barrier and preparing the package of documents. Both negative aspects can be resolved with the help of lawyers from Law&Trust. We undertake certification and execution of all documents, as well as negotiations with representatives of the foreign bank.
