Opening a corporate bank account in Europe is one of the most cost-effective and advantageous solutions to date. Many European banks offer debit cards such as Visa or MasterCard to their customers once an account is successfully open.
In order to start processing Visa card transactions, our clients need to open a corporate bank account. This brief review contains a list of European banks that provide the opportunity to open a corporate bank account in Europe with subsequent connection to the global electronic payment network VisaNet.
VisaNet IAT (International ACH (the Automated Clearinghouse) Transaction) code is the opportunity to start making international money transfers. The IAT (International ACH Transaction) is the new Standard Entry Class (SEC), which replaces the CBR and PBR SEC codes that are in use today. Nowadays, many financial institutions in the USA receive international payments that cannot be properly identified. The new IAT code was specifically developed to deal with such situation. You can connect to VisaNet on your own in one of the banks mentioned below. The chances, that you will succeed with opening a corporate bank account for a non-resident company are rather slim, therefore we strongly recommend you registering a company in a relevant jurisdiction.
In order to connect to VisaNet, we suggest our professional assistance in registering a business in a country with the maximum number of potential partners and opening a bank account in the same state.
