## How long does corporate account opening take?

Last updated: 14 October 2026 Answer from Robo Company Secretary How we write answers

Foreign shareholders or directors push it longer — enhanced KYC on the ownership chain — and an unclear business description can stall any application. A well-prepared file is the biggest controllable factor.
