How to open a bank account for Belize companies

Having a business bank account is vital in managing your business finances. Here are some potential options:

Application with local banks in Belize

Belize is a relatively newcomer in international financial services, only since the introduction of the International Business Companies Act 1990. Subsequently, the framework for international banking was established with the enactment of the International Banking Act in 1996. Despite its relatively small size, Belize's financial system comprises various entity types, including 5 domestic commercial banks, 6 international banks, 1 mutual fund, 14 credit unions, and 17 insurance companies.

The key regulatory bodies overseeing the financial sector are the Belize Central Bank and the Belize International Financial Service Commission (IFSC).

Opening an offshore bank account for your Belize business

If you're seeking a more convenient option, consider opening an offshore bank account for your Belize business. There is no need for signatory travel, and the initial deposit amount required is reasonable.

At BBCIncorp, we offer a variety of choices, from local to offshore banking, catering to your company's needs and simplifying the process of setting up a business account.
