Sleek has been an intricate part in starting and running my business. I use them for all my business admin and accounting (Shout out to Carl) needs. They continue to be attentive, efficient, and quick to adapt to my needs.
The estimated timeline to open a corporate account can vary from 3 working days to as long as a few months. The time frame is based on the bank’s own internal processing times and KYC checks.
Basic requirement for a corporate bank account opening in Singapore include:
You will also need to provide some documentation such as proof of identification (passport), proof of residence address in Singapore, and evidence of your company’s registration with Accounting & Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA). These documents are necessary for banks in Singapore to verify your identity and legitimacy as a foreign business owner.
We strongly recommend you to start a corporate account instead of using your personal account and credit cards. A corporate account is necessary not only for security but also for easier, quicker access and control of your funds, balances, and deposits.
Mixing the two pots of money will create a alot of complications for tax and audits down the line.
Incorporated companies that are trading in Singapore are advised to open a local Singaporean bank account within 1 year of incorporation. The issued company capital will need to be deposited into the account within 6 months from the bank account opening.
Yes, you can open a business account for a small business in Singapore. Most banks in Singapore offer business banking services, including business accounts, for small businesses. You’ll need to meet the bank’s requirements and provide the necessary documentation to open an account.
However, it can often be a lengthy process, requiring extensive documentation.
Non-Singapore based foreigners may need up to 3 months and branch visit, along with hard copies of documents to be sent. Moreover, traditional corporate bank accounts can be expensive to setup with high initial deposit and minimum balance requirements.
It’s recommended you open a Sleek Business Account when you incorporate your business. Sleek offer a free corporate account (subject to approval) to all customers once a company is registered or transferred to Sleek.
Yes, you can open multiple bank accounts for your business in Singapore. Many businesses choose to have more than one account for various purposes, such as separating funds for different projects, managing foreign currency transactions, or streamlining financial operations. However, you will need to meet the bank’s requirements and provide the necessary documentation for each account you wish to open.

At the moment, we do not offer connections to Xero. But this is something we are working on, we will let you know once this is available.

Furthermore, local transfer fees are absorbed by Sleek!
