Bank accounts are not confined to solely Maltese residents; it is also possible to open a bank account in Malta for non-residents. Malta offers a vast array of banking options, including retail banking services with telephone, internet and mobile banking facilities, as well as specialised wealth management banking services. Most of the largest banks in Malta have a dedicated international clients centre, aimed at providing solutions expressly for non-residents.
Non-residents wishing to open a bank account in Malta, as well as other products such as credit and debit cards, must provide the following documents:-
- Certified passport copy;
- Utility bill or any similar document attesting proof of residence;
- Bank reference from known bankers attesting to the credit-worthiness and reputation of the non-resident.
Provided all of the aforesaid documents are provided, the opening of a bank account may be expedited in a matter of days and the full details of the Maltese bank account, internet banking secure-key and pin number promptly remitted to the non-resident.
Focus Business Services has a proven track-record in this field and has assisted numerous clients in opening a Malta bank account with the bank of their choice.
