Family office and holding company: business bank account help after adverse media coverage
Refused over adverse media coverage? Xavion helps family offices and holding companies assess the obstacle, prepare the relevant evidence and seek a suitable business bank account. We review your business before accepting the case, rather than send the same application to another provider.
We review your business first. Approved cases are guaranteed onboarding.

Decline assessment
Match each relevant allegation to its subject, date and documented outcome without deleting inconvenient history.
Application evidence
An adverse-media response schedule separating unresolved matters from evidenced corrections or outcomes.
Sector-specific placement brief
Separate owner contributions, investment proceeds and payments between related entities. We use the group structure, source-of-wealth records and relevant trust or foundation documents to explain the model, not just its industry label.
What we need to establish before accepting your case
- Which articles concern the applicant or its controllers, and what independent evidence resolves the issues?
- The answer determines which evidence is missing and whether this is a correctable application issue or a restriction that prevents placement.
- What money will this business bank account handle?
- Separate owner contributions, investment proceeds and payments between related entities. The key distinction is whether the applicant manages its own family's assets or provides services for outside clients.
- What does a workable account need to support?
- Tell us the incoming and outgoing currencies, payment countries, monthly volumes and whether balances belong to the company or its customers. These determine the facility to seek.
Evidence we may need
Send the decline and a short business summary first. We confirm which records are relevant; not every item applies to every case.
- +Court or regulator outcomes
- +Published corrections or retractions
- +A signed explanation letter
- +Group structure chart
- +Source of wealth report
- +Trust or foundation documents
What this service cannot bypass
- -We cannot erase public reporting or promise that a provider will disregard unresolved allegations.
- -We do not conceal ownership, funds origins or the real business activity. Unlawful activity cannot be fixed by a better application.
If the model itself is not lawful or licensable, no application fixes that, and we will say so at the review stage.
Our approach to adverse media coverage
Match each relevant allegation to its subject, date and documented outcome without deleting inconvenient history. The practical output is an adverse-media response schedule separating unresolved matters from evidenced corrections or outcomes.
For family offices and holding companies, we connect that work to the group structure, source-of-wealth records and relevant trust or foundation documents. The decision is not simply whether a provider accepts your industry: it is whether the applicant manages its own family's assets or provides services for outside clients. If the records do not answer the issue, we identify the gap before presenting an application.
Banking for the actual funds flow
We clarify who owns the money, the purpose of incoming and outgoing transfers, currencies and counterparties, and whether you need an operating account or a separate client-money arrangement. Banking placement does not automatically include card processing, lending or safeguarding. Those requirements must be identified separately rather than assumed to come with an account.
From review to provider onboarding
We review the decline, ownership and operating model first. We then identify the evidence gaps, prepare a provider-facing explanation and seek a placement route that fits the activity and required payment features. Any proposed terms need to be reviewed before you commit.
For cases Xavion approves after reviewing the business, we guarantee successful onboarding with a suitable bank or payment provider. Not every case is accepted. Xavion is an intermediary, not a bank or acquirer; providers perform their own checks and decide the facilities and terms they offer.
General information, not legal or tax advice. Every bank and payment provider makes its own final decision; Xavion is an intermediary, not a bank, acquirer or processor.
- Can you help family offices and holding companies after adverse media coverage?
- We can assess the case and the evidence needed for a suitable placement route. Match each relevant allegation to its subject, date and documented outcome without deleting inconvenient history. We cannot erase public reporting or promise that a provider will disregard unresolved allegations. We only accept a case after reviewing the business; a previous refusal does not by itself establish that a replacement account is available.
- What should I send for the first assessment?
- Start with the decline or termination correspondence, your company country, website and the business bank account features you need. For this issue, relevant evidence includes court or regulator outcomes, published corrections or retractions, a signed explanation letter. Tell us what is unavailable rather than creating or altering records. We confirm what is needed for the actual case.
- What is different about placing family offices and holding companies?
- Separate owner contributions, investment proceeds and payments between related entities. We need to understand whether the applicant manages its own family's assets or provides services for outside clients. Relevant supporting material includes the group structure, source-of-wealth records and relevant trust or foundation documents. This lets us present the operating model accurately instead of submitting only a generic industry description.
- What is guaranteed, and how long will it take?
- Xavion guarantees successful onboarding for cases it approves after reviewing the business, not for every applicant. We do not promise a particular provider, account feature or completion date before review. Timing depends on evidence gaps, any required legal or regulatory work, and the provider's checks.
Let’s assess your route to a suitable account
Tell us where your business operates, what the provider said about adverse media coverage, and what you need the business bank account to do. Start with a summary; do not send identity documents through chat.
