Before we introduce our service in more detail, here are some of the most common hurdles faced by investors, expats, and companies wishing to open a bank account in Panama on their own:
Complex Requirements and Numerous Documents
Each bank has its own policies and specific document requirements, which often change. Requirements for opening a bank account for international clients are frequently tied to documents that must be certified translations into Spanish.
Language Barriers and Bureaucracy
Without a personal contact in the private banking sector, you will be served at regular counters in Panamanian banks, where only Spanish is often spoken. Without fluent Spanish skills, communicating with the banks, interacting with local staff, and understanding the documents can be challenging.
Time-consuming procedures
Appointments and approvals can take weeks, especially for non-residents. You may lose a significant amount of time and patience with numerous in-person meetings where you must repeatedly present your case from A to Z.
