Overview
Banking options that fit your business model
Opening a business account can be the hardest step of a new venture, especially in crypto and fintech. MAXCORP focuses on advice specific to your business model, not on promising a particular bank: we analyse your needs, engage with our network of credit and financial institutions and present a selection of well‑suited options.

Clear insight into each option, so you can make an informed choice of banking partner
Choosing a banking partner is a strategic decision that affects growth and day-to-day operations. The process differs from country to country and from bank to bank, especially for fintech and crypto. We guide you through it with actionable insights, while the final decision and the engagement with the bank stay yours. The result is a banking set-up you chose with the full picture of fees and features.
Scope
What our banking advisory covers
The advisory runs in three parts: understanding your needs, identifying suitable banks and supporting the onboarding. The account types, features and fees differ by bank and by country, so we compare them side by side for your business model.

FAQ
Banking advisory: FAQ
Do you guarantee a bank account?
No. We focus on advice specific to your business model rather than guaranteeing a particular bank. Each bank decides on opening an account under its own KYC and AML rules.
How much does banking advisory cost?
The professional advisory fee starts from €2,500. Fees for bank onboarding or account opening are paid directly to the respective banks.
How long does the advisory take?
The typical lead time to complete the advisory and present banking options is about 2 weeks. The bank’s own onboarding takes additional time.
Do you work with crypto and fintech?
Yes. Crypto and fintech businesses often face the biggest banking challenges, and our team includes ex-bankers with connections that help to find solutions for difficult cases.
Which account types can you advise on?
The account types available for your business model, such as administrative (operating) accounts and client funds accounts, with the features (SEPA, Instant SEPA, SWIFT) and fees of each. See also our guide to opening a business account remotely.
Is account support part of formation?
Yes, basic business account support is included in our operational company packages. The full banking advisory is for complex or regulated business models. See Company formation.
Who makes the final decision?
You do. We present the options with our insights; the choice of bank and the engagement with it are yours, and the bank decides on your application.
Which countries can you help with?
We advise companies registered in the countries where we form companies, and we work with a network of banks and payment providers. The right option depends on your business model, your markets and the currencies you need.
