Opening accounts in Russian banks

Opening accounts in Russian banks

Nika Commerce specialists provide a full range of services for opening bank accounts for foreign companies in Russian banks, including the procedure for preparing and submitting documents from a legal entity to a bank, as well as control over the entire process of opening an account.

COST OF ACCOUNT OPENING SERVICES

Russian companies with foreign participation (founders / director) - from 150 €

branches and representative offices of foreign companies - from 450 €

foreign companies (without separate divisions in Russia) from 800 €

DEADLINE FOR OPENING BANK ACCOUNTS

The term for opening bank accounts depends on the chosen Financial and Credit Institution, but as a rule it takes from 2 to 7 working days

Select the method of opening a bank account in Russia:

  • With a personal presence at the bank

In this case, the Head of the company (branch / representative office) comes to Russia and is personally present when opening a bank account, and our lawyers prepare a package of documents and accompany the entire process of opening bank accounts.

  • Without visiting the bank

Russian legislation allows legal entities to open bank accounts under a notarized power of attorney. Thus, the Head of the company (branch / representative office) issues a power of attorney to our lawyer for the right to represent the interests of a legal entity in the bank, and he, in turn, goes through the procedure for opening a turnkey bank account, without a visit of the Head of the legal entity to the bank.
