Overview
Germany is Europe’s financial hub and as such is an excellent location for opening accounts for businesses that are trading internationally in goods and services. Germany is also an excellent clearing centre for licensed financial companies (forex, payment services, settling securities transactions etc). It is sometimes hard to open bank accounts in Germany for offshore companies, but we are pleased to be able to assist clients with this via relationships with two niche banks: one concentrates on foreign trade, with a particular expertise in the Middle East, Russia and CIS; the other concentrates on payment services within the European Union.
