Briefly about opening an account for foreigners

Most Ukrainian banks do not open accounts for non-residents — we work only with those that do.
Any foreigner can open an account — whether they are in Ukraine or abroad: a notarized power of attorney will be required.
A Ukrainian TIN (tax identification number) is required to open an account. If you don't have one yet — we will help you obtain it.

Banks are required to check every client against sanctions lists, wanted persons and debt registries, and conduct financial monitoring. If a foreigner appears in any registry or financial monitoring identifies risks — the bank will refuse to open the account. The bank's decision in such cases is final due to mandatory compliance regulations.
