Open a Canadian Business Account within Days

Operate in CAD with a local Canadian business account in your company's name without the need for local incorporation or resident directors in Canada.

Access a full domestic account structure with local payment and collection capabilities. Settle reliably via EFT, complemented by SWIFT connectivity for global transfers.

The Challenge

Overcoming Bureaucratic Barriers


Opening a Canadian business account as a non-resident can be complex and time-consuming. Traditional providers often require resident directors, local incorporation, or a physical operating address in Canada.

International businesses frequently face repeated KYC checks, notarised documents, and inconsistent procedures across financial providers. These hurdles can create unnecessary operational friction, leading to costly delays in critical settlements and exposing your business to FX risk in the Canadian market.
