Bank fees
Ask the bank about opening or setup charges, account maintenance, online banking or security devices, incoming and outgoing transfers, intermediary charges and account closure. Not every category applies to every account. Obtain the current tariff and ask which charges are periodic or transaction-based.
Application support
Supro’s fee is separate from bank charges. A written proposal should identify the work included, such as document organisation and bank coordination, what counts as additional work, and payment stages. Request a quote for your circumstances; this page does not invent a standard price.
Other preparation costs
Translations, certified copies, notarisation or other verification, courier delivery and travel may add costs where required. Confirm the bank’s requirements before purchasing these services. A remote-preparation arrangement does not guarantee that travel will be unnecessary.
Minimum balances and deposits
Ask whether the proposed account has a minimum balance, initial funding requirement or related conditions. Account funds are different from service fees, but may affect your budget. Confirm the relevant currency, amount, withdrawal conditions and whether any requirement is specific to the selected product.
If the application is not approved
Before starting, ask which payments cover work already performed, which charges depend on the outcome, and what the written refund or cancellation terms are. Paying an intermediary does not guarantee bank approval. Keep the service agreement and receipts.
Questions to put in your quotation request
State your registration country, company age, business, intended currencies and estimated payment pattern. Ask for the bank charges available at that stage, the exact support scope, possible third-party expenses, payment timing and cancellation terms. Supro can discuss the preparation work and provide a quote based on the agreed scope.

Bank of Communications’ published FTN application materials are one bank’s starting point. The customer due diligence rules effective in 2026 explain the identity, ownership and business-purpose assessment. Neither source establishes one universal fee, remote-opening option or approval deadline.
