HSBC and Barclays Account Opening Services

Access to a major international bank account is critical for trade finance and structured transactions. Financely assists qualified corporate clients in establishing accounts with HSBC and Barclays in the United Kingdom. Our services include preparation of compliance-ready onboarding packs, direct submission to relationship managers, and nominee director arrangements where legally permissible. Every engagement is subject to strict KYC, AML, and sanctions screening requirements.

“The account was opened on time with full compliance approval. Without their structured onboarding support, we would not have secured a UK banking relationship.”
