What CRO documentation does Hollis require from an Irish Ltd?

A current CRO certificate (or Certificate of Incorporation), the company's Constitution, and its Register of Directors, alongside standard UBO declarations for 25%+ owners.

Can an Irish company open a Hollis account before flipping to a Delaware parent?

Yes. Many Irish Ltds open a USD account first to establish banking infrastructure, then later restructure with a Delaware parent — the Hollis account and its transaction history are unaffected by that later corporate change, though ownership changes will require updated UBO documentation.

How long does approval take for an Irish Ltd?

Same business day to next business day for applications with complete documentation.

What fees apply beyond the setup fee?

A $400 annual maintenance fee (waived if the account maintains a $250,000 average daily balance), $20 for domestic wires, $30 for international SWIFT wires, and a 0.75% spread over mid-market on any FX conversion. Incoming wires are always free.

Does Hollis support both operating companies and holding companies incorporated in Ireland?

Yes, both operating Irish Ltds and Irish holding companies are accepted under the same entity type and documentation requirements.

US Business Banking for Irish Limited Companies

USD banking for your Irish Ltd, built for EU holding structures and companies billing US customers.

Why this matters

Irish Ltds frequently function as EU holding or billing entities for companies with real US revenue — SaaS businesses invoicing US customers in USD, EU holding companies sitting above a US operating subsidiary, or companies preparing a "flip" to a Delaware parent ahead of a US-led financing round. In every one of these cases, the Irish entity needs USD banking well before (or instead of) a US entity. Hollis & Co, through its Column N.A. partnership, opens USD accounts for Irish Ltds with same-to-next-business-day review, so treasury isn’t the bottleneck on your US strategy.
