What we have done.

Fund administrator, standing arrangement

A leading global fund administrator engaged iKYC to bank a portfolio of Jersey structures. The engagement became a standing relationship. Over several years the mandates have included fund vehicles, real estate structures and a charitable trust.

One panel relationship. Multiple mandate types. Jersey structures.

Cash management across trust settlements

A regulated Channel Islands trust company instructed iKYC to review and optimise cash management across two substantial discretionary trust settlements. The work covered deposit terms with several licensed banks, counterparty and credit analysis, and alignment with the trustee’s exposure policy. Rates were secured across call, notice and fixed term accounts in GBP, USD and EUR.

Consolidated banking for a property group

A London based international real estate and energy group needed consolidated corporate banking across more than forty entities in the UK, the Netherlands and Belgium. The incumbent bank could not provide a single view across the full structure. iKYC was retained to identify suitable banking partners and to manage the presentation across the whole group.

Twenty CSP accounts migrated at once

A Monaco corporate service provider needed to move twenty client accounts from its incumbent bank after a strategic change in banking relationships. All twenty had to move to a new institution at the same time. iKYC managed the move in parallel and the accounts were placed concurrently across the portfolio.

Real estate financing and refinancing

A Jersey trust company needed financing for a portfolio of London commercial real estate held in a Jersey administered structure. iKYC arranged the initial financing through a Channel Islands bank, then managed the refinancing of the outstanding debt through a second institution.

Senior debt and currency advisory

A hospitality group with an unconventional asset profile needed senior debt advisory and due diligence support, including an introduction to a major bank’s real estate financing team. iKYC went on to arrange currency advisory and a hedge with a specialist provider.

US refund cheques for Jersey companies

Two Jersey companies administered by a regulated Channel Islands trust company received US tax refund cheques. Neither entity had a US banking relationship. A banking partner was identified to accept and process the cheques and to provide ongoing accounts for both.

Trust banking for a US Treasury refund cheque

A discretionary trust that originated outside the US needed banking following the death of the settlor. A US Treasury refund cheque complicated the position, with no US tax number, no US banking history and a structure with no record in the US. A Channel Islands bank was identified to process the cheque and provide ongoing trust banking.

CNY and CNH banking for a Hong Kong company

A Hong Kong trading company importing retail goods from China needed CNY and CNH payment capability. The company sat within a Jersey trust structure, and its existing Channel Islands bank could not support Chinese currency payments. A replacement bank with the required currency infrastructure was sourced.

Banking for a Dutch cooperative fund

A Dutch cooperative fund structure administered by a regulated Netherlands service provider needed banking. iKYC BV carried out due diligence under Dutch AML law and identified a banking partner for the cooperative. Assets spanned Netherlands and German entities, with iKYC BV engaged as the Netherlands adviser.

Multi jurisdiction banking for a trust company

A leading global trust company engaged iKYC to open accounts across several jurisdictions for a portfolio of complex structures under administration. Existing banking relationships had been withdrawn or restricted. iKYC identified suitable licensed banking partners across the relevant jurisdictions and managed the full placement process for each structure. The relationship has continued across several subsequent mandates.

Account recovery after an e-money closure

A Liechtenstein administered structure lost access to its operating account when its e-money provider closed without notice. Replacement institutional banking was needed urgently to keep the structure operating and to meet its payment obligations. iKYC identified a licensed international bank prepared to accept the structure, managed the application, and secured a fully operational account within the required timeframe.
