Mauritius is a politically stable jurisdiction and one of the largest financial hubs in Africa.

Mauritius’ banking sector is made up of sophisticated financial institutions that offer global banking services to a broad range of corporates and individuals. In addition to traditional banking facilities in a number of foreign currencies, they also offer card-based payment services, such as credit and debit cards, internet banking, and trade financing facilities. Furthermore, Mauritius is part of the IBAN numbering system, which may be convenient for individuals and companies transacting with European Banks.

Banks in Mauritius also offer institutional banking and wealth management services such as fund administration, custodial services, trusteeship, structured lending, international portfolio management, investment banking, private client activities, treasury, and specialized finance.

Mauritius corporate accounts are available for Mauritius Global Business License companies (GBL), as well as nonresident companies, including entities incorporated in offshore jurisdictions. Mauritius banks also understand wealth and succession planning structures and are used to work with structures using Trusts and Foundations.

Account opening procedures for corporate accounts are some of the most straightforward worldwide, and the turnaround time is pretty quick compared to other international financial centers.

For nonresident individuals, Mauritius also offers international banking facilities, from transactional banking and foreign currency exchange to brokerage accounts and wealth management services.

All in all, Mauritius is an attractive location for offshore companies to open bank accounts, especially if they are doing business in Asia, Europe, and Africa, as well as for nonresident individuals looking for a safe banking location with sophisticated wealth management services.

We can help you open bank accounts in Mauritius. Accounts are available for individuals.
We work with 2 different banks in Mauritius. Each bank has different eligibility requirements, types of accounts available and onboarding processes. We invite you to carefully review each banks requirements and services below to better understand if their banking services meet your needs:

 

Our banking support service is not just a mere introduction to the bank. We assist you in filling out the business questionnaires appropriately and help you understand and provide business details, commercial information and purpose/use of the bank account that a given bank wants to know in order to approve your account application. Banks want certainty and clarity on how the account will be used. Everything must be watertight. We will work with you to make sure there is minimal ‘back and forth’ and a smooth account opening process.
