Bank‑ready KYC pack: what to prepare to reduce iterations
Opening an account is not just a form — it’s a narrative: structure, source of funds, contracts and a coherent story. Here’s a practical checklist.
Why banks dig deep
Banks and PSPs evaluate risk: AML/KYC, source of funds, sanctions exposure and reputational risk. A coherent pack = faster decisions.
Checklist: what a KYC folder typically includes
- Corporate docs: incorporation pack, bylaws/act, resolutions.
- UBO structure: ownership chart + beneficial owners list.
- Individuals: passports, proof of address, CVs (if requested).
- Source of funds: explanation + supporting documents (case‑by‑case).
- Business narrative: 1–2 pages: what you sell, to whom, geography, avg ticket.
- Contracts/invoices: samples or drafts.
- Authority chain: who signs, PoAs, signature policy.
3 practical tips
- Prepare one clean PDF pack + a folder with originals.
- Keep names/addresses consistent (one mismatch = another iteration).
- Write your narrative “for compliance”: facts and logic, not marketing.
