Open a Malta Company with a Bank Account

Establish Your Malta Company with a Bank Account

Setting up a company in Malta opens doors to the European market, a competitive tax regime, and a business-friendly regulatory framework. At E&S Group, we simplify the process of company formation and corporate bank account setup—whether in Malta or internationally—providing seamless solutions tailored to your business needs.


Why Choose a Malta Company with a Corporate Bank Account?

1. EU Market Access

A Malta company grants direct access to the European Union’s single market of over 500 million consumers. With a corporate bank account, you can manage transactions efficiently, expand operations, and meet the financial requirements of cross-border trade.

2. Flexible Banking Options: Local or International

We offer support in opening bank accounts both in Maltese banks and international financial institutions, ensuring you choose the best option for your business needs:

  • Maltese Bank Accounts: Ideal for businesses prioritizing local operations and EU compliance.
  • International Bank Accounts: Suitable for companies with global clients and multi-currency requirements.

3. Tax Efficiency

Malta’s tax regime offers a full imputation system with a potential 5% effective corporate tax rate for non-resident shareholders. This makes it a top jurisdiction for tax-efficient business structures. Double taxation treaties with 70+ countries further minimize liabilities on global revenues.

4. Enhanced Business Credibility

Having a corporate bank account enhances your company’s reputation, whether with clients, investors, or regulators.
