Opening a corporate bank account in Indonesia is a critical step for running a business in the country. A bank account is necessary for managing finances, paying taxes, and receiving income. In this article, we will explain how to open an account in Indonesia, what documents you need, and what to keep in mind to avoid delays.
Step 1: choose a bank
Indonesia has many banks, including both local and international options. Popular choices include:
- Bank Mandiri — The largest state-owned bank, offering extensive business services.
- BCA (Bank Central Asia) — Known for its convenient online banking services.
- HSBC Indonesia — Provides services for international companies.
- CIMB Niaga — Specializes in corporate clients.
When choosing a bank, consider the following:
- Account maintenance fees.
- Online banking capabilities.
- Support for foreign clients and availability of English-speaking staff.
Step 2: prepare documents
To open a corporate account, the bank will require the following documents:
- Company’s articles of incorporation (Deed of Establishment).
- Company registration certificate (NIB).
- Tax Identification Number (NPWP).
- Power of attorney for the company’s representative (if you are not opening the account in person).
- Passport or ID of the company owner.
- Additional documents, such as office lease agreements or business licenses, depending on the bank’s requirements.
Step 3: application process
1. Schedule a consultation with the Bank

Ensure that all documents are translated into Indonesian and notarized if required.
3. Wait for approval
After submitting the documents, the bank will process your application within 7-14 business days.
