Opening an account with a bank in the Netherlands

Business bank account
Who decides
The bank you apply to. Banks are supervised by De Nederlandsche Bank.
What it covers
Preparing your application and documents for a business bank account, and introducing you to banks that accept your type of company.
Who needs it
Any new company that needs to receive payments, pay suppliers and staff, or deposit share capital.
Typical documents
Company registration papers, identification and proof of address for the owners and directors, a business plan, and evidence of the source of funds.
Good to know
Banks run identity and anti-money-laundering checks and may ask for more information. Approval is never guaranteed. Founders based abroad can face extra checks, and digital banks are sometimes faster than traditional banks.
Processing time
To be confirmed. It depends on the bank and on your documents.
