-
Register the company with ACRA via BizFile+ (https://www.bizfile.gov.sg) and obtain a UEN. Then assign a CorpPass administrator to authorize the bank account opening. Example command: `curl -X POST https://api.bizfile.gov.sg/v1/register -d '{"company_name": "Example Pte Ltd", "director": "John Doe"}'` -
Use a corporate service provider (e.g., Rikvin, Sleek) to handle ACRA registration and CorpPass setup
-
Open a multi-currency business account with a digital bank (e.g., Aspire, Airwallex) that accepts foreign directors without CorpPass but with ACRA registration

Singapore banks prohibit using personal accounts for business; they will freeze the account upon detection.
