International Investor FAQ

Which banks work best for foreign-owned companies in Bangladesh?

Several leading local and foreign commercial banks offer dedicated corporate desks experienced with foreign-owned clients. We match you to a bank based on your currency needs, remittance volume and service expectations rather than a one-size-fits-all recommendation.

How long does corporate account opening take?

Once incorporation documents are in hand, account opening typically takes one to three weeks depending on the bank’s KYC review and beneficial-ownership verification process.

Can I open a Foreign Currency (FC) account before RJSC incorporation is complete?

An FC account generally requires a completed incorporation certificate and trade license. We sequence your company formation and banking workstreams so your account is ready as soon as the entity is registered.
