What YOUYI Handles

The Bank Account Work, From Review to Follow-Up

This is the work you engage YOUYI to do. It is not a general company-setup checklist.

Application planning

We review the company, ownership and intended account use, then plan the application route.

Document checklist & review

We prepare a checklist matched to your case and review documents for completeness and consistency before submission.

KYC readiness review

We check how your ownership, activities and expected transactions will read to the bank, so you can answer its questions clearly.

Appointment coordination

We coordinate the bank appointment and prepare you for the visit.

Supplementary follow-up

If the bank asks for more documents or explanations, we help you respond, within the agreed scope.

Before You Apply

What to Prepare, What the Bank Reviews

Depending on the bank and the case, the bank may review the company's ownership, management, business activities and supporting information.

What You Need to Prepare

Company registration documents
Shareholder and beneficial-owner information
Legal representative identification
A description of the business activities
Expected account use and transaction information
Any supporting documents the bank requests

What the Bank May Review

Company and management information
Ownership and control structure
Business activities and expected transactions
Supporting documents, and source of funds where relevant

The account structure required can depend on the company's activities, funding and banking needs. YOUYI confirms the applicable bank requirements as part of the account-opening preparation. You do not need to prepare the full bank file before contacting us — tell us about the company and we can confirm the next document step.

Scope & Quote

What Determines Your Scope and Quote

There is no single published price. The fee depends on your case, so YOUYI quotes after the review.

Company situation — a new company, or an existing company
Ownership structure — shareholders and beneficial-owner complexity
Business activities — what the business does and its expected transactions
Document readiness — how complete your supporting documents already are
Related work — company registration bundled with the bank account, only if you need it

What you receive

A defined application plan

Tell us the company status, ownership structure and business activities. YOUYI then prepares:

the document checklist
the KYC preparation steps

Before You Apply

Practical Banking Considerations

Three points that shape how the application runs.

Bank requirements vary

Each bank runs its own KYC. A checklist accepted at one bank is not automatically accepted at another.

Bank visit & verification

Requirements vary by bank and case. In some cases, the legal representative may need to attend the bank in person. YOUYI confirms the applicable requirements before the appointment.

Timelines are not fixed

Processing time depends on the bank, branch and how quickly requested documents are provided.

Buyer Questions

Bank Account Opening FAQ

Can YOUYI guarantee the bank account will be opened?

No. The bank carries out its own KYC review and decides whether to approve the account. YOUYI prepares the documents, coordinates the appointment and follows up on supplementary requests within the agreed scope, but does not guarantee an account, an appointment or a timeline.

Does the legal representative need to attend the bank in person?

Requirements vary by bank and case. In some cases, the legal representative may need to attend the bank in person. YOUYI confirms the applicable verification and attendance requirements before the appointment.

What documents will the bank typically ask for?

It depends on the bank, the branch and the case. Typically company registration records, ownership and beneficial-owner information, legal representative identification, a description of the business activities, and supporting documents. YOUYI prepares a checklist for the case; the bank may ask for more.

How long does opening a corporate bank account take?

It varies by bank, branch, company structure, document completeness and any KYC follow-up. YOUYI can explain the steps it manages, but the bank's own review time is not YOUYI's to promise.

Can I buy this service together with company registration?

Yes. The bank account opening service can follow YOUYI's company registration service, and the two can be scoped together.

Can an existing company use this service for a new or additional account?

Yes. An existing company can buy this service on its own for a new or additional corporate account. If the bank asks for more KYC documents, YOUYI helps prepare a response within the agreed scope.
