Questions to prepare before your enquiry

A useful enquiry describes what you need, the facts that affect it, and the outcome you expect. Keep copies of written quotations and clarify exclusions before agreeing to a service.

  1. Identify whether you need an individual or company account.
  2. Estimate monthly transaction volumes, currencies and international payment needs.
  3. Ask about minimum balances, account fees, transfers and foreign exchange charges.
  4. Confirm required identity, business, ownership and source-of-funds documentation directly with the bank.
  5. Check account access, online controls, service availability and closure conditions.

Turn your checklist into a brief

Summarise your circumstances, location, desired timeline and the questions still unanswered. At the enquiry stage, avoid sharing identity documents, banking passwords or sensitive records. A provider can explain its secure document process if you proceed.
