How long does corporate account opening take?
For a straightforward Malaysian-owned company with a clean file: commonly one to three weeks from submission to an active account, branch and bank dependent. 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.
