What banks expect

A pre-packaged file: source of wealth, source of funds, flow-of-funds diagram, counterparties, compliance programme, board, and any licences. Without this, the file dies in pre-screening.

EMI first for operational rails, then a primary bank, then acquirer/PSP for card flow. Trying to open all three in parallel from a cold start is how most British Virgin Islands files get permanently flagged.
