The Challenges: The hassle of creating business bank account for a newly incorporated startups

Opening a corporate bank account in Singapore can be a hurdle for companies and startups going through incorporation, especially when dealing with traditional banks. These banks are known for their strict requirements and lengthy application processes, which can be a hassle for new businesses with limited resources. This delay in acquiring a business bank account can significantly impact a company's ability to operate efficiently, potentially leading to a delay in receiving funding or any payment for Tenity’s startup which may hinder the startup’s growth. 

For instance, traditional banks may request a significant amount of documentation during the application process, such as detailed business plans, financial projections, and certified corporate resolutions. Credit checks and minimum deposit requirements are also common. The entire process can take weeks or even months to complete, leaving startups waiting to fully start their operations.
