In today’s globalized world, businesses increasingly expand beyond the borders of a single country, which requires reliable and convenient banking solutions. Opening NRA (Non-Resident Accounts) enables companies to effectively manage their finances across different regions of the world, simplifying access to local markets and international payments. Our company offers professional assistance in opening NRA accounts for non-resident companies in leading financial institutions worldwide. We take an individual approach based on the client’s needs, current market conditions, and our extensive experience working with international banks. This allows our clients to receive the best possible banking terms and successfully grow their businesses.
Why are NRA accounts becoming essential for international business?
Expanding capabilities
Non-resident accounts allow companies to easily conduct transactions in foreign currencies, minimizing exchange and conversion costs. This is especially important for businesses engaged in import–export operations.
Reducing business barriers
Many banks in regions such as Asia and the Middle East offer specialized service conditions for non-residents, including simplified account-opening procedures and more flexible customer requirements.
Integration with local markets
For companies operating in countries with developing economies, NRA accounts act as a bridge that facilitates effective cooperation with local suppliers, clients, and partners.
Risk minimization
With NRA accounts, companies can diversify their assets across multiple jurisdictions, helping protect them from political or economic risks in any single country.
In practice, more and more companies choose to open NRA accounts in order to solve the following tasks:
Ensuring convenient banking services in the countries where the main business activities take place (e.g., a Hong Kong company operating in Taiwan or Vietnam).
Optimizing cross-border transfer costs by using local banks.
Meeting tax and regulatory requirements through opening accounts in the appropriate jurisdictions.
Simplifying cooperation with local counterparties by maintaining an account in the local currency.
Using multi-currency accounts for effective financial management.

The process of opening an account in a Chinese bank can take from several weeks to several months, depending on the bank and the complexity of the document review.
A virtual account is opened and managed entirely online. The process is faster and cheaper, but the range of services is limited. A traditional bank account usually requires an in-person visit to the bank, takes more time to open, but provides a much wider range of services, including loans and investment products.
