 Establishing a Bank account in Lithuania
Coddan acts as an agent for the largest banks in Latvia and Lithuania. These banks offer a wide variety of retail and commercial banking services through an extensive network of branches locally as well as serving the international community through their remote bank account operation system. All these Banks have excellent internet banking facilities, a choice of credit/debit/anonymous Visa, Master, Cirrus, Maestro, Amex cards. The bankers will be able to assist you by introducing you to their investment portfolios or insurance services. Excellent relations with the Banks Correspondents located in the USA, Canada, Germany, Austria, Norway, Japan, Australia, etc., allow their clients to benefit from the unrestrained currency exchange operations and maintenance of multicurrency bank accounts. We will recommend you to a banking institution for your satisfaction taking into consideration your present citizenship and domicile.
A ready to operate bank account (account number, secure passwords, digital device, and bank account application forms) will be sent to you together with the company documents. Your offshore account will be ready to receive money only. It will be fully activated when the banks receive the original application forms accompanied by the following: duly certified incorporation documents; duly certified passport photocopy of each account signatory and duly certified signature cards.
We at Coddan being the sales agent can certify the documents ourselves; otherwise we will instruct and lead you through all the procedure, to get it done fast and easy. Initial deposit for the account activation is USD$ 500.00. Please be aware that banks will debit your account of USD$100.00 activation fee from the first transaction.
How to control accounts? The opening of a bank account is one of the primary concerns of our clients. All major banks recognize the importance of being able to carry out instructions expeditiously, with many banks now providing online computer facilities that provide information to the authorized user and the ability to effect either inter-account or external electronic transfers. Clients preferring to issue instructions by fax are able to establish coded systems with the bank to ensure both confidentiality and security.
Know your customer principles. Banks are required by their regulators to know their customers’ identities and details of their business activities. Clients are encouraged to inform banks of changes in their business pattern or of any large transactions. Banks are suspicious of large inward transactions followed rapidly by large outward transfers from corporate accounts and generally do not wish to attract this type of business. A client who describes his business as a business consultancy with an estimated annual turnover of US$ 200,000 per annum should not be surprised if their corporate banker rejects an incoming transfer of several million dollars.
Money Laundering. Both onshore and offshore banking centres have serious concerns relating to the laundering of the proceeds of drug trafficking and terrorism. Banks may require detailed information, such as copies of contracts or purchase orders, concerning source of funds to ensure that they do not become involved with money laundering and the layering of laundered funds. Self-evidently large cash transactions are bound to create suspicion and clients seeking to deposit more than US$ 10,000 in cash with a bank should provide explanations to their corporate bankers prior to attempting to place such deposits.
Confidentiality. Our international clients seek confidentiality in their affairs to legitimately protect their assets from disasters, unwarranted third party interference and to reduce an ever-growing burden of unnecessary disclosure and explanation. Confidentiality and privacy are often integral to risk management planning; and confidentiality, either on its own or combined with some other parameter, is a major factor in the use of offshore facilities. Banking confidentiality is best assessed through consideration of the physical location of a bank and its corporate structure. In Common Law offshore banking jurisdictions, confidentiality normally arises through four circumstances: specific laws or regulations designed to enshrine banking confidentiality, by the special relationship that exists between a client and their professional advisers, in an express contract and by virtue of the law of tort, whereby, for example, information with commercial value is protected against unjustifiable use.
In most European countries it is generally accepted that the relationship between a banker and a client is confidential and should not be disclosed without a court order. European banks are subject to European Union directives on such matters as money laundering and exchange of information, whilst many countries have exchange of information and mutual legal assistance provisions enshrined within double tax and other bilateral treaties.
The corporate structure of a bank is often an important selection parameter as normally clients seek to avoid banks incorporated or active in either their country of residence or where the bulk of their non-cash and non-bank assets are held. For example, a US citizen seeking confidentiality should carefully consider the wisdom of establishing a confidential banking relationship with an institution with a corporate presence in the US as a third party could seek redress through the US based corporate presence.
The UK is subject to the full burden of both European Union directives and a high level of both disclosed and undisclosed scrutiny by the authorities.
