Banks decline structures for reasons that often have little to do with the structure itself. Appetite changes. A correspondent withdraws from a corridor. A file arrives without the context the committee needed. We rebuild the file and present it to a bank that has current appetite for the profile. iKYC is an advisory firm working with licensed banks only. Why banks decline ## A decline reflects the bank, not the structure A decline usually reflects the bank, the moment or the file. It rarely reflects a flaw in the structure. A prior refusal is a starting point, not a verdict. #### Why banks decline Common causes include a portfolio level withdrawal of appetite, a bank de risking a category of client, a shift in appetite for a jurisdiction or sector, an incomplete source of wealth presentation, or a correspondent route closing. None of these reflect a problem with the structure. They reflect where that bank stood at that moment. #### What we do differently We find out why the file was declined before we touch it. We rebuild the presentation around what the next bank committee needs to see. We approach only banks with current appetite for the profile. We do not send the same file to a long list and risk a second decline. #### Common decline scenarios A payment provider closes an operating account without notice. A private bank exits a long standing trust or family office relationship. A correspondent withdrawal makes a payment corridor unworkable. A newly formed structure is declined for limited history. A US Treasury or refund cheque arrives at a structure with no US banking record. #### How quickly we can move We give a first view on the file within one business day. Replacement banking is often time critical. The standard time to an open account is four weeks from instruction. Urgent recovery cases are prioritised. #### Our coverage 30+ licensed banks on panel 12 jurisdictions covered 4 weeks standard opening 12+ years of regulatory insight #### Get started Submit an application.

Yes. Declined files are among our most common instructions. We read why the file was declined before we touch it, then rebuild the presentation around what the next bank's committee needs to see. ### Will a prior decline count against the next application? Not if the file is rebuilt correctly. The next bank assesses the structure on a fresh and complete presentation. Sending the same file to a long list of banks is what causes a second decline. ### How fast can a replacement account be opened? We give a first view within one business day. The standard time to an open account is four weeks from instruction. Urgent recovery cases are prioritised. ### Why do banks decline sound structures? Often for commercial reasons rather than risk. A structure that brings little revenue to the bank earns a slow no. Other banks take a longer view of the relationship, and in our view the job is to find them. ### What do you need from us to start? The type of structure, where it is administered, what it does, the category of wealth behind it and the reason the previous bank gave. Identity detail follows under a non disclosure agreement once you instruct us. ### Do you use licensed banks only? Yes. Every bank we work with holds a full banking licence. We do not place clients with e money institutions or payment platforms. ## Been declined or exited by a bank? Speak with a specialist. No generic enquiry forms. One business day response.
