Three Website Red Flags Banks Notice
Your website is part of your banking application. This Short covers three website red flags that can make it harder for a bank to understand and assess your business. Follow Redomiciled for more on international banking and company setup.
Transcript excerpt
These three website red flags get your corporate bank account application rejected. When a bank reviews the application, they typically read out your website to understand what your business actually does. Marketing lines that you use to impress your customers can sometimes make the business look riskier than it is and lead to a denied application. [...] One rule fixes all three of those problems. Make the business website accurate, make it simple and focused only on the operations that you can document and prove that you're actually doing. That is then the business the bank will take on and agree on and you have a successful application.
