Today, one of the main directions of Georgia’s economic policy is the creation of a favorable investment climate in the country and attraction of foreign capital. And foreign entrepreneurs are really starting to open deposits in Georgian banks, having appreciated the low income tax and the more than loyal attitude of the authorities towards non-resident businessmen.
Today it is very easy to open an account in one of the Georgian banks. However, you cannot open an account remotely, and this is a significant disadvantage. The personal presence of the owner is also a prerequisite, but you can come after the documents have been reviewed and a positive decision has been made on your application.
The peculiarity of the Georgian banking services market is that it is full of profitable offers designed to help foreign entrepreneurs achieve their business goals. In Georgia, the exchange of data on bank accounts is prohibited by law, so private information relating to any financial transactions is absolutely confidential.
TBC Bank is a financial institution that is rightfully considered one of the best. The bank offers a huge range of services for both citizens of the country and foreigners. At the same time, it should be taken into account that the list of services available to non-residents differs from that which Georgian citizens may use. For more detailed information, it is recommended to clarify it directly with the bank’s employees.
