Private capital · Banking

Banking starts with an evidenced structure

A bank assesses more than a certificate of incorporation. It expects coherent source-of-wealth and source-of-funds evidence, business purpose, contractual model, tax position, counterparties and payment corridors. A trust or foundation also requires transparent disclosure of the settlor or founder, trustee or council, protector, beneficiaries and controllers.
