Opening a bank account

The company that is active in Lithuania should have a bank account in one of the Lithuanian banks. It makes the process of financial settlements with employees, suppliers, partners, and other persons easier, as well as the procedure of paying taxes to public authorities.
Opening a bank account in one of the Lithuanian banks is not a simple process if the company owner is a foreigner or foreigners. Lithuanian banks have tightened the policy of opening bank accounts and the reliability verification of foreign subjects and their authorised capital. Upon opening a bank account, the customers are required to provide a thorough information about company activities, activities scheme, company suppliers, partners, customers, property, capital, investments, etc. Decision making of the bank with respect to the account opening takes 1-5 days or even a week.
