Banking Setup

Opening personal and business bank accounts in Panama — one of the trickier steps for newcomers.

What is Banking Setup?

Opening a bank account in Panama is famously paperwork-heavy for foreigners — banks require references, documentation, and patience. We prepare you properly and introduce you to banks that work with your profile, so the process actually goes through.

What’s involved

  • Introductions to banks suited to your situation
  • Help assembling reference letters and documentation
  • Guidance on personal vs. corporate accounts
  • Support through the bank’s due-diligence process

How we handle it

We know what each bank wants and how to present your application, which is the difference between an account that opens in weeks and one that stalls for months.
