Opening a Corporate Bank Account in Taiwan

In the wake of the 2018 revisions to Taiwan’s Money Laundering Control Act, the process of opening a corporate bank account in Taiwan has taken on increased complexity. However, our services are designed to streamline this process, making it more accessible and efficient for you.

We collaborate closely with Taiwanese banks to ensure that your company is paired with the most suitable banking partner, aligning with your specific business requirements and objectives.

For those fortunate enough to have a representative of their Taiwan-based company who can visit in person, the bank account opening process can be expedited. In such cases, the representative will need to allocate just one day to sign the necessary corporate documents and finalize the bank account setup. This step is essential because many banks require in-person signature verification.

In scenarios where your designated representative cannot be physically present in Taiwan, our expert team offers comprehensive support for remote account opening. We take care of document preparation and legalization in your home country, simplifying the process for you. You have the option to choose your existing bank, or you can rely on our recommendations of local banks that align with your needs.

Our services provide multiple advantages, including significant time savings, effective communication with the banks to avoid misunderstandings, and access to professional guidance throughout the entire process. We handle all aspects, from document preparation to selecting the most suitable bank, verifying the necessary conditions, and liaising with the bank. If you opt for remote account opening, we can even accompany you virtually, ensuring a smooth account setup.

With our support, navigating the intricate process of opening a corporate bank account in Taiwan becomes a seamless and efficient experience, allowing you to focus on your business objectives with confidence.

FAQs About Opening a Corporate Bank Account in Taiwan

1. Do I need to be present in Taiwan for the bank account opening process?

Taiwanese banks fall into three primary categories: government-owned, private-owned, and foreign-based. While some banks may accept a Power of Attorney (POA) in lieu of personal visits, the requirements vary:

  • Government-Owned Local Banks:
    Relatively straightforward account opening.


Generally, do not accept POAs; require the representative to visit in person.

  • Private-Owned Local Banks:
    Offer more flexibility to clients, but policies vary.


Building a strong relationship can be important.

  • Foreign-Based Banks:
    Typically offer greater flexibility.


Some accept POAs or arrange web meetings.

May have specific requirements, such as annual sales or capital thresholds.

Often target larger, multinational companies.

The key consideration is whether the bank offers an English e-banking system and English communication support. Since many banks primarily cater to local clients, finding one with robust English support can be challenging. We recommend enlisting the assistance of a local agent experienced in bank account opening to facilitate this process.
