Bank Account Setup
In Georgia
Open a multi-currency bank account in Georgia as a foreigner, expat, or digital nomad. We handle KYC compliance, compliance pre-screening, and account opening at TBC Bank or Bank of Georgia - in person or 100% remotely via Power of Attorney. GEL, USD, EUR, and GBP accounts available.
Why Digital Nomads and Expats Choose Georgian Banks
Georgia boasts a highly modernized, stable, and liquid banking system dominated by premier institutions listed on the London Stock Exchange. With advanced English-language mobile banking apps, multi-currency accounts (GEL, USD, EUR, GBP) natively integrated under a single IBAN, and zero capital controls, a Georgian bank account serves as an exceptional financial hub for international businesses and expats.
​
Can't travel to Georgia? No problem. Through a Power of Attorney (POA), we open your Georgian bank account remotely - handling the full KYC process, bank compliance interview, and even courier your physical debit/credit card to your address anywhere in the world.
​
Important Legal Compliance Note: In accordance with global anti-money laundering regulations and Georgian Central Bank mandates, accounts cannot be opened for shell companies. Your entity must demonstrate valid commercial activity, legitimate software/consulting contracts, or clear personal relocation ties to Georgia to ensure long-term operational stability.

Protocol Activation & Token Handover
Upon compliance clearance, the accounts are initialized. We securely hand over your physical high-limit cards, initialize Digipass/SMS security matrix links, and guide you through the first incoming transaction protocol.
Onboarding Tracks: In-Person vs. Remote

Track A: In-Person VIP Concierge: We pre-screen your business documents, book priority appointments at premium/business centers, and physically accompany you to the bank to ensure compliance officers approve the account on the spot. (Duration: 1–2 Business Days).
Track B: 100% Remote Power of Attorney: We provide an optimized multi-lingual POA draft. You sign, apostille/legalize it in your home jurisdiction, and mail it to our Tbilisi office. We execute the account opening, establish your secure online banking linkage, and courier your physical corporate Visa/Mastercard directly to your global doorstep. (Duration: 4–7 Business Days from receipt of POA).
