International Banking & Accounts

The account for your company: US payment providers for the US LLC, local banks for EU companies, prepared with a complete file.

Explore

You receive a dossier tailored to your business model, including company records, source of funds and account purpose. We clarify suitable institutions’ requirements, support your application and work through follow-up questions with you. The bank decides whether to open an account.

What we coordinate

  • Personal and corporate account openings, matched to your structure
  • Banking in Georgia — personal and corporate accounts with local institutions
  • Diversification across banks, currencies and jurisdictions, so no single institution is a single point of failure
  • Onboarding preparation: documentation, source-of-funds narrative and a KYC file the bank can actually process
  • The interfaces between your accounts and your entities

How we work

GCS prepares documents and coordinates the application process. Accounts are held directly in your name or your company’s name at the institution. We hold no client funds; the bank reviews and accepts or declines the application.

German connections

From a German perspective.

Management & permanent establishment

Actual central management and fixed business facilities can create German tax exposure; a foreign registered address is not sufficient.

Sections 10 / 12 AO

Controlled foreign companies

Control, income type and actual taxation matter. The low-tax threshold is below 15% (as of 09/2026); EU/EEA substance rules require evidence.

Sections 7–13 AStG

Foreign-interest reporting

Foreign businesses and shareholdings may trigger notification duties. Conditions, thresholds and deadlines need review.

Section 138(2) AO

Exit taxation

Departure or restrictions on German taxing rights can trigger taxation of unrealised gains on covered interests, subject to personal conditions.

Section 6 AStG

Remaining German interests

German nationals meeting all relevant conditions may face extended limited taxation for up to 10 years after the departure year (as of 09/2026). Preferential taxation alone is insufficient.

Section 2 AStG

Tax treaties

Residence, income, entitlement and the current treaty text determine relief. The existence of a treaty is not a blanket exemption.
