01
Account-opening support
The account requirement, the intended business activity and the information needed for discussions with the relevant bank.
05 / Banking & trade
The banking relationship.
The business behind it.
The purpose of a banking relationship matters: operating a business, settling international trade, funding a project or managing liquidity. STRATTFORT supports the definition and coordination of these requirements, with the business activity and the relevant banking or financing providers central to the discussion.

Your circumstances
When the conversation
becomes useful.
The starting point is a decision, a change or a requirement that needs a clearer structure.
- A company defining an international banking or payment requirement.
- An underlying trade requiring financing or documentary instruments.
- A project where the funding brief needs to reflect its structure and purpose.
The first conversation
From context
to a defined brief.
A considered introduction establishes what matters, what information is needed and who needs to be involved.
01
Define the purpose
Outline the activity, countries, transaction or project and the banking arrangements already in place.
02
Prepare the scope
Identify the requirement, supporting information and parties responsible for providing it.
03
Coordinate the discussion
Establish the respective roles of the company, STRATTFORT and the relevant institutions. Account acceptance, financing and instrument issuance remain decisions for those institutions.
Connected expertise
Consider the wider picture.
