What do banks ask a BVI holding company to show?

Last updated: Oct 21, 2026, 17:46 (UTC+08:00)

Expect the certificate of incorporation, memorandum and articles, a recent certificate of incumbency from the registered agent, the registers of directors and members, and a chart of the whole group. Banks also ask for source-of-wealth evidence for the owners and, more and more often, the receipt for the latest economic substance filing. Having these ready before you apply saves most of the back-and-forth.
