Banking Support

We guide you through opening a bank account in Montenegro, prepare your documents and accompany you at the account opening — you open the account in person.

Opening a company or personal account in Montenegro proceeds relatively smoothly with the right bank choice and complete documents; but preparation is essential regarding banks’ compliance processes and source-of-funds documents. With Montenegro’s operational entry into SEPA in October 2025, intra-European euro transfers became faster and cheaper. At MGT, we accompany you from bank selection to document preparation; you open the account in person, per the bank’s policy — we do not do this step on your behalf.

Who is this service for?

  • Entrepreneurs forming a company in Montenegro who need to open a company account.
  • Investors in the residence/investment process who want to open a personal account.
  • Those wanting guidance on bank selection and document preparation.
  • Businesses wanting to use intra-European (SEPA) euro transfers efficiently.

Scope — What’s included?

  • Guidance in selecting a bank suited to your needs
  • Required document list and preparation (including source-of-funds documents)
  • Appointment organization and accompaniment at the account opening
  • Information about SEPA and transfer processes
  • Coordination with company formation and accounting

Important: You always create the bank account and the password/access details in person. MGT does not enter or store your bank login or financial account data on your behalf.

What changed after SEPA?

  • Since October 2025, Montenegro is an operational SEPA member; intra-European euro transfers (nearly 40 countries, including all EU members) can be made faster, cheaper and under standard rules.
  • For individuals, the first €200 per day is free; for electronic transfers up to €20,000 the maximum fee is around €1.99 (may vary by bank policy).
  • Note: SEPA does not “newly” put Montenegro on the euro (Montenegro already uses the euro), does not on its own grant EU membership, and does not change tax rules. As Türkiye is not a SEPA member, transfers to Türkiye are subject to different rules; we assess this separately.

  3. Document preparation. We fully prepare the required documents (ID, source of funds, company documents).
  4. Appointment & accompaniment. We arrange the bank appointment and are with you at the opening.
  5. Next steps. We inform you about internet banking setup and transfer processes.

Frequently asked questions

Can you open the account on my behalf?
No. Banks require the account holder to be present in person and to create the login details themselves. We are with you throughout the process and prepare the documents.
What is needed to open a company account?
Generally company documents, the executive director's ID, office/address information and source-of-funds documents. Proper preparation speeds up the compliance process.
Can I make cheap transfers to Türkiye with SEPA?
SEPA facilitates intra-European euro transfers; Türkiye is not a member, so transfers to Türkiye are assessed separately. We address this according to your needs.
