Canada Business Bank & Merchant Account Setup
A company is only useful once it can get paid. We prepare your application pack and introduce you to banks, fintech accounts and payment processors that work with Canada companies owned by non-residents.
What’s included
- Shortlist of banks and fintech accounts that accept your profile
- Payment merchant setup (card payments, online checkout, marketplace payouts)
- Document pack: company documents, proof of address, business description
- Help answering compliance and KYC questions from the bank
- Follow-up until the account is approved or an alternative is opened
- Please note: Account approval is decided by the bank or platform, not by us. Any platform fee or deposit (for example Wise: £50 UK / $31 US, Amazon or bank deposits) is paid by you directly with your own debit card and is not included in our price.
Who needs it
- New companies that need a first business account
- Owners whose application was declined elsewhere
- Online stores that need card payments and payouts
Documents needed
- Company formation documents
- Passport of each owner/director
- Proof of residential address

Frequently asked questions
Can non-residents open a business account?+
Yes. Several banks and fintech providers accept non-resident owners. We match you with the ones that fit your country and business type.
Is account approval guaranteed?+
No. Each bank makes its own decision. A complete, consistent application pack gives you the best chance, and we help you apply elsewhere if one declines.
