After a Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise (WFOE) is incorporated in Shanghai, opening a corporate bank account is one of the key steps before normal operations can begin. A company usually needs a bank account to receive capital injections, make daily payments, handle tax matters, and carry out cross-border transactions.
In practice, the account opening process generally includes the following steps:
Select a bank based on your business needs, foreign exchange services, international settlement support, online banking convenience, and branch efficiency.
Banks usually require the business license, company chops, articles of association, identification documents of the legal representative and authorized signatories, office address proof, and other supporting materials.
Many banks require the legal representative or authorized person to attend an interview or complete identity verification before the account can be approved.
This is usually the company’s main domestic operating account for daily payments, payroll, and tax-related transactions.
If the WFOE will receive overseas investment funds or conduct international business, additional foreign exchange related accounts may also be needed.
Once the account is opened, the company should complete online banking setup, payment authorization arrangements, and any required bank compliance formalities.
For a Shanghai WFOE, bank account opening is not just an administrative procedure. It is a necessary step for capital injection, tax filing, payroll, supplier payments, and ongoing business operations.
