Opening a bank account

Do you want to open a bank account in the Czech Republic but don’t know how? Can’t get along with a bank employee? Not sure what you’ll need to open a Czech bank account? Do you need to make an appointment with a bank employee? Don’t know which bank or what type of account to open? Do you need consecutive interpreting during a meeting with a bank employee? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you’ve come to the right place!

In this regard, we provide the following services:

1. Advice on choosing a bank

We can advise you on which bank to choose in the Czech Republic according to your preferences. Learn more in the article Which bank to choose in the Czech Republic?

2. Advice on choosing an account

We will find out for what purpose you need a bank account and, based on your information, recommend the type of bank account you can open in the Czech Republic. For more information, see the article Czech bank account.

3. Telephone communication with a bank employee

From accepting the request to open a bank account to arranging a meeting with a bank employee, we are in phone contact with a bank employee. Information from phone calls is also provided.

4. E-mail communication with a bank employee and translation into English for you

E-mail correspondence is especially necessary when opening company bank accounts. During all e-mail correspondence, the customer has a view of all e-mails sent and received in the original language version. We translate e-mails from a bank employee from Czech to English and your e-mails from English to Czech. In all e-mail correspondence, we make sure that both parties understand each other.

5. Arranging a appointment with a specific bank employee at a specific date

This is the final stage, where both parties must be physically present. The meeting takes place in the Czech Republic. We will arrange a meeting with a bank employee so that it is convenient for you.

6. Arranging a teleconference with a specific bank employee at a specific date

There are cases when you can make an appointment with a bank employee for a specific time using a teleconference. For example, you have questions about a newly opened bank account or you need to clarify something. So there is no need to come to the Czech Republic and make an appointment at the bank, just contact a bank employee via teleconference. Therefore, if you want to connect with a bank employee via conference call, contact us to arrange a time that suits all three parties. We will start a conference call at the appointed time and include both parties – you and the bank employee. During the teleconference, we translate both sides from English to Czech and vice versa, so that both sides understand each other. Details of the teleconference can be found here.

7. Searching for information about opening a bank account

Just as there are different types of businesses, there are also different requirements for opening, for example, business bank accounts. Each bank also has different rules when it comes to opening a bank account. I learn this information from official sources, i.e. from bank employees, who then contact the appropriate bank employees. Thanks to this, you will receive verified information.

8. Consecutive interpreting during a meeting with a bank employee

We are present on site during the meeting with the bank employee. We translate both sides so that they understand each other. You from English to Czech, and the bank employee from Czech to English. We are also available to explain and follow the bank’s procedures so that you meet directly with a specific bank employee with whom we have previously arranged an appointment.

9. Consecutive interpreting during a teleconference with a bank employee

Based on your request, all three parties will find a convenient time to start the teleconference. We will add you and a bank employee to the teleconference. You ask a bank employee questions or explain problems, and we translate it into Czech. We will then translate the bank employee’s answers into English.
