Seychelles Company + HSBC Account
Every serious offshore engagement starts with the same three questions: what are you protecting, where will you bank, and what will the structure cost to run in year three — not just year one.
This package pairs a Seychelles IBC (0% tax on foreign income, formation in 24–48 hours) with a corporate account at HSBC in Global (HK/UK/UAE) — unmatched global footprint across 50+ markets. HSBC remains the default choice for structures that must bank across multiple continents.
Why This Pairing Works
Seychelles delivers the structure: trading, consultancy, ip holding on a budget, usd 1 standard authorised capital, and beneficial owners filed privately with the registrar. HSBC delivers the rails: All major currencies with varies by market; usd 50,000+ typical. The compliance narrative connecting the two — activity, corridors, source of funds — is what GoldenKey engineers before either application is filed.

- Apostilled corporate document pack prepared to HSBC's checklist

Frequently Asked Questions
Will HSBC accept a Seychelles company?
Acceptance depends on activity, ownership clarity and substance — not the jurisdiction alone. Unmatched global footprint across 50+ markets. GoldenKey pre-validates the fit before you commit.
What is the combined timeline?
Formation completes in 24–48 hours; banking typically adds one to six weeks depending on profile. Running both workstreams in parallel — our standard method — compresses the total.
Do I need to travel?
Relationship-managed; in-person common for the bank. The Seychelles incorporation itself is fully remote through our registered agent network.
One Engagement. Company + Bank.
We pair every incorporation with a banking strategy on day one, because a company that cannot open an account is not a structure — it is a certificate in a drawer.
