Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it usually take a foreign company to open a corporate bank account in Australia?

 It will depend on the bank you choose to open a bank account with. Generally, it takes longer to open a bank account with one of the Big Four banks in Australia (anywhere between two to three months). For smaller banks the set up time is generally faster (usually within two to three weeks).

Offline meetings are required by some banks as part of their KYC measures. However, there are banks in Australia that do not require an offline meeting in order to open a bank account with them. However, it is important to ensure that the company has at least one resident director and one resident shareholder before opening a bank account with an Australian bank.

Once you have applied for an Australian Business Number (ABN), it will generally take between two to four weeks for you to receive an Australian Tax File Number (TFN).

Fees typically associated with operating a corporate bank account in Australia include:

 

  • Monthly account maintenance fees
  • Transaction fees
  • International transaction fees
  • Currency conversion fees

These components must be correctly calculated and reported each pay cycle to comply with legal requirements and guarantee employees receive their full entitlements.
