How do I register my company through an electronic banking service?
The formalities connected with setting up a company by a bank will be settled as soon as possible if you are a customer of the bank and you have access to an electronic banking service. mBank also enables people who do not have an account with mBank to set up a company. The process is longer due to the need to visit the mBank outlet or to order a courier in order to sign documents and to confirm one's identity.
Don't worry about formalities as the bank will provide you with all the tools necessary for registering your company, such as: access to electronic banking, registration form and Trusted Profile, which will allow you to sign the application form and settle other matters of your company in the future.
In brief, the procedure for registering a company with a bank is as follows:
1. Obtain access to your bank's electronic banking service.
2. Go to the company registration form for your bank's electronic banking service. A special wizard will tell you how to fill in the application form correctly. You will also learn how to set up a Trusted Profile (or confirm it if you already have one) with which you sign the application for registration. If you encounter problems, call your bank's helpline.
3. Sign the application form with Trusted Profile and send it. You will receive confirmation of your successful application and your current status.
Note! When you register your company with a bank, you cannot attach an application for taxation in the form of a tax card (PIT-16). You can submit your application via biznes.gov.pl or by registration application with CEIDG.
I registered the company and what next?
Remember that after registering your company with a bank you will still have some important obligations, such as:
