Opening a business bank account in Serbia

Who it is for

• You have registered a DOO or sole proprietorship (preduzetnik) in Serbia and need a business account.
• You already have a company but want to change bank or open a second account.
• You plan to work with foreign clients and receive payments in foreign currency.

How it works

1. 01

   Company review

   We look at the business activity, the founders and the planned payments. Banks check the ownership structure, so we prepare a clear description of the business.

2. 02

   Choosing a bank

   We choose a bank with suitable fees and requirements for companies with foreign founders.

3. 03

   Document package

   We gather the APR extract, founding documents, documents of the director and founders, and the bank's questionnaires on activity and source of funds.

4. 04

   Meeting at the bank

   We accompany the director to sign the documents and help with translation.

5. 05

   Launch

   We help set up e-banking and, if needed, issue a company card.

Documents you will need

• Registration decision and APR extract
• Company founding act
• Passports of the director and founders
• Specimen signature card (karton deponovanih potpisa)
• Description of the activity and expected turnover

The exact list depends on your situation; we will prepare it during the consultation.

Timing

The bank's review of the company usually takes from a few days to 2–3 weeks, depending on the bank and the ownership structure.
