The account was opened, everything went successfully, but not on the first try - I had to change the bank because of their policy. It's good that the team quickly oriented itself and supported me to the result.

I wouldn't have managed without them! The conditions for opening an account for a company with foreign beneficiaries were difficult, but everything worked out thanks to the right strategy and your experience.

Overall, the impressions are positive. The bank was chosen successfully, but the process was a little delayed due to additional checks. The team supported me all the time and helped with answers to the bank's requests.
