Case: Opening a private account at a bank in Kyrgyzstan
What was the client's request?
The client approached us with the following tasks:
- to open a private account with the ability to make international transfers from CIS countries to the UAE;
- to issue a Visa card for payments in the UAE, Europe and the USA;
- to provide remote management of funds without the need for a personal visit.
Why couldn't the client do this on their own?
Direct international transfers between CIS countries and the UAE are complicated by banking restrictions.
Most foreign banks require personal presence to open an account.
Without experience in dealing with foreign banks, it is difficult to pass compliance and prepare the correct set of documents.
What solution did we offer and why?
We selected a bank in Kyrgyzstan that offers:
- Visa (USD, EUR) or premium Visa Infinity cards;
- remote account opening by power of attorney;
- internet banking that works with mobile operator numbers from CIS countries.
The Kyrgyz bank acts as a convenient financial bridge between the CIS countries and the Middle East — transfers are fast and reliable.
Were there any difficulties?
The main difficulty was passing compliance remotely.
All documents were certified and submitted by our team, and the process went smoothly.
Case duration
Two weeks from document submission to card receipt.
What specialists were involved?
- a banking consultant on international settlements;
- a compliance specialist;
- a logistics specialist for card delivery to the client.
Result
The client received:
- a private account in a Kyrgyz bank with remote management;
- a Visa debit card valid in any country;
- a convenient channel for international transfers between the CIS countries and the UAE;
- a fast and secure solution without the need for personal presence and unnecessary bureaucracy.
