Open a CZK Account - Czech Koruna

Opening an account is very simple.

1. Send us your request to open a CZK account via the form on the left or through the account opening form. We will contact you to schedule a phone call to better understand your needs regarding CZK flows.
2. Following this exchange, we assist you with the administrative formalities to open access to the services of one of our partners, selected based on your needs. We remain your sole contact for the entire client relationship.
3. Once access to the services is validated, you can request the opening of your Czech Koruna account and any other eligible currency. The banking details of your CZK account are usually provided within a few minutes, and you can start receiving and making payments in CZK (Czech Koruna).
4. If your business evolves and you have needs in other currencies, you can request the addition of an account in another currency at any time.

The Czech Koruna (CZK) account for which we provide the details is not a bank account per se because the account-holding institution is not a bank but a partner payment institution. These accounts are registered in your name, and the IBAN linked to the account is unique. You thus have a guarantee of segregation of your funds in the books of our partners. The security guarantees for your funds are similar to those offered by traditional banks. The account can be located in different countries according to your operational needs. Please consult the page related to opening a Czech Koruna (CZK) account for more information.

It may be useful for your CZK (Czech Koruna) account to be located in France or, conversely, in another country, depending on your operational needs and the location of your clients. This is why we allow great flexibility in the location of currency accounts. The CZK (Czech Koruna) account can be located in the following countries of your choice:

• France
• Czech Republic
• United Kingdom
• Belgium
• Netherlands
• Luxembourg

You can use this Czech Koruna account to receive or store CZK for as long as you wish as long as your account is active. You are automatically notified by email each time a Czech Koruna transfer is received on your CZK account. You can then freely reuse these CZK to make payments in CZK to your suppliers or convert your Czech Koruna while benefiting from very competitive exchange rates. You have no obligation to move funds on the accounts. 

Foreign currency collection systems like Adyen, Stripe, Paypal, Hipay, or internal systems of marketplaces like Amazon Pay are widely used by companies conducting international transactions. These systems are efficient, but if you do not have an account in the collected foreign currency, your revenues in that currency are automatically converted to euros at often very unfavorable exchange rates, and even when you have a bank account in the collected currency, this account often needs to be located in the country where the sale takes place, which can be complicated with a traditional bank. Some of our partners offer currency accounts compatible with most marketplaces and collection systems.

You can find all eligible currencies for opening a currency account by visiting this page.
