HAVE QUESTIONS?
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Digital banking platforms like Wise, Aspire, and Airwallex allow complete remote onboarding via online KYC verification. For traditional local banks (e.g., DBS, OCBC, UOB), at least one executive director may need to attend an in-person meeting or a facilitated video verification call, depending on the bank's policies.
Typical requirements include the company’s ACRA Business Profile, Constitution, Board Resolution approving account opening, passports and proof of residential address for directors/signatories/ultimate beneficial owners, and proof of business activities (such as draft contracts, invoices, or a corporate website).
Common reasons include incomplete KYC documentation, unclear sources of funds, unverified foreign business activities, high-risk operational jurisdictions, or mismatched business descriptions on ACRA. Our pre-screening process is designed to fix these issues before your file reaches bank underwriters.
Digital fintech accounts can be approved in 1 to 5 business days once all verified documents are submitted. Traditional local bank accounts generally take up to a week or more, depending on the complexity of your company's ownership structure and compliance checks.
Traditional banks (e.g., DBS, OCBC) offer comprehensive commercial services, interest-bearing accounts, trade financing, and merchant facilities, but require higher minimum balances and stricter onboarding. Digital platforms (e.g., Wise, Aspire) offer rapid setup, low FX markup fees, and multi-currency accounts ideal for international transactions and startups.
