Raiffeisen Bank International AG

Raiffeisen Bank International AG (an Austrian banking legal entity registered in Vienna; not the same as the Raiffeisen brand network or the RBI Group’s subsidiaries in individual countries)

Raiffeisen Bank International AG is an Austrian banking legal entity listed in the FMA company database with authorized activities. The group publicly focuses on corporate and investment banking in Austria and its CEE network. Its website publishes a corporate digital account-opening process and enquiry thresholds, but this does not confirm that all companies, or any individual or non-resident applicant, will be accepted.

Regulator: Austrian Financial Market Authority (Finanzmarktaufsicht, FMA); RBI’s website also lists supervision by the European Central Bank (ECB) under the Single Supervisory Mechanism
Check date: 2026-10-26
Verify status: Some information is pending confirmation: RBI AG’s entity record and BWG license category in the FMA company database, as well as RBI’s official legal entity and regulatory information, have been checked; the corporate online account-opening portal, contact routing, CRS/FATCA, and Austrian AML legal baseline have also been checked. RBI AG’s personal account products, acceptance conditions for overseas/nonresident companies, itemized document requirements, proof-of-address rules, account fees/minimum deposits, complete processing times, and scope of global remote identification have not been publicly confirmed by the bank and require a written response.

Research scope and official resources

Topic number:europe-raiffeisen-bank-international-ag

The project selection.json records it as a selected large Central and Eastern European bank in The Banker 2026 Tier 1 by capital measure. This candidate record is only for selecting a research subject; it does not represent an individual ranking, a current global top 100, current acceptance of account-opening applications or service eligibility.

Bank’s official website

Personal Eligibility and Documents

The RBI Group website says its subsidiaries provide retail, premium and private banking services to individuals in CEE; RBI’s contact page directs individual customers to the local network in their country. Public information does not confirm that Raiffeisen Bank International AG itself offers ordinary retail current accounts to Austrian resident or non-resident individuals, nor does it list nationality, residence, income or tax residency conditions for personal applications. Therefore, Austrian residents, non-residents and individuals abroad should first confirm whether the relevant institution is RBI AG or a local subsidiary; products offered by subsidiaries should not be treated as a direct account-opening commitment from RBI AG.

Personal information publicly disclosed or identified

RBI’s public pages do not provide an application document checklist for personal accounts with RBI AG. The website’s personal customer contact information directs individuals to the local network in their country.
General preparation suggestions (not RBI AG's published policy): After the bank confirms the specific product and the entity you will be dealing with, prepare a valid passport/proof of identity, current proof of address, and tax residence status and TIN information for each applicable jurisdiction. Whether certified translation, notarization or a specific format is required must be confirmed with the account-opening bank.

Company eligibility and documents

RBI's official website offers Group eAccount Opening for businesses, describing corporate account opening with RBI Group banks in Austria and the Central and Eastern European markets where it operates, with online form completion, document uploads and electronic signing. The page states that Group eAccount Opening inquiries are intended for companies with annual turnover of at least EUR 100 million; a separate corporate contact page lists contact routing thresholds of annual turnover of at least EUR 200 million for Austrian companies/groups and at least EUR 500 million for international companies/groups. These are inquiry/contact thresholds expressly stated on the pages, not guarantees of account approval or universally applicable minimum turnover policies. The public pages do not state whether all foreign-registered companies, non-resident shareholders or specific industries may apply to RBI AG. Written confirmation from the bank is required regarding the place of incorporation, business activities, ownership, account opening purpose and the legal entity handling the application.

Company information publicly disclosed or identified

The official Group eAccount Opening page confirms that businesses can enter company information online and upload documents, but does not publish a complete, fixed list of required documents.
General AML/KYC preparation suggestions (not RBI AG's published itemized requirements): Company registration/existence documents, Articles of Association and registered office address information; identity and authorization documents for directors and authorized signatories; ownership structure and ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) information; explanation of the company's business and intended account use; tax residence and TIN; financial or business records; and evidence of the source of funds to be credited. The bank may request additional documents based on the type of entity, ownership structure and risk assessment. The checklist, issuance time limits, and certification and translation requirements must all be confirmed on a case-by-case basis.

Address, tax, and remote / witnessed procedures

Address and tax

RBI AG’s registered office address on its website is Am Stadtpark 9, A-1030 Vienna; this is the bank’s own address, not a standard for customers’ proof of residence. The Austrian Ministry of Finance’s CRS guidance lists reportable information including the account holder/entity name, address, tax residence and TIN. Customers should prepare the relevant tax numbers and self-certification for their actual tax residence(s). The RBI account-opening pages reviewed do not list acceptable proof-of-address documents for individuals or companies, Austrian customer tax number requirements, or exceptions for non-resident addresses; confirm with the bank.

Remote / witnessing

The business account-opening service supports online form completion, document uploads, and electronic signing through myRaiffeisen. RBI also has a Video ID page stating that identity verification can be completed using a passport, mobile phone, and video process, without meeting a bank employee or notary in person; it says the identification step takes approximately 10 minutes. This time refers only to the video identity verification described on that page, not the time to open an account. The page does not guarantee that all countries, applicants, or account authorised persons can use the service, and does not confirm third-party witnessing, global coverage, or remote opening of personal accounts. Confirm eligible locations and roles with RBI in advance.

Public process reference

Businesses should first contact RBI/their relationship manager to confirm the intended bank legal entity, market, product and application eligibility. The Group eAccount Opening page lists an inquiry threshold of annual turnover of EUR 100 million; the corporate contact page separately lists contact routing thresholds of EUR 200 million for Austrian companies/groups and EUR 500 million for international companies/groups. Neither constitutes approval criteria.
If authorized to use the relevant corporate service, apply to your relationship manager for access to the myRaiffeisen platform, submit company data online, and upload the documents requested by the bank. The platform states that it can generate a pre-filled contract package for signing and allow users to check account-opening status.
Complete the applicable eKYC/Video ID and account agreement as instructed by the bank. Account approval, requests for additional documents, specific account terms, availability to non-residents/foreign companies, and processing times remain subject to written confirmation by RBI in the individual case.

Compliance topics, details, and sources

Austria AML/KYC, UBO and source of funds

As an Austrian credit institution, RBI AG is subject to Austria’s Financial Markets Anti-Money Laundering Act (FM-GwG). The FMA describes the statutory AML framework for Austria’s regulated financial market and notes that beneficial owners are also governed by WiEReG. Banks conduct customer due diligence and risk assessments as required by law; applicants should prepare genuine documents explaining the actual controlling parties, business purpose and source of funds. This is a local legal baseline and general preparation guidance, not an RBI-specific published document checklist or a commitment regarding the outcome of a review.

Tax Residency Self-Certification and CRS/DAC2

The Austrian Ministry of Finance explains that financial institutions must report to the local tax authorities information about financial accounts held by tax residents of other participating jurisdictions. This may include names/entity names, addresses, tax residence, TINs, account balances or values, and certain interest income. The tax authorities then exchange the information under the applicable mechanism. Customers should accurately provide each relevant tax residence and TIN and should not assume that the account-opening bank will make tax determinations on their behalf.

U.S. Tax Status and FATCA (explained independently of CRS)

The Austrian Ministry of Finance publishes the Austria–U.S. FATCA agreement and explains that Austrian financial institutions handle FATCA reporting/information provision obligations relating to U.S. account holders under the agreement. FATCA and CRS are separate frameworks; the bank may request U.S. tax status information or a relevant self-certification. This does not describe the United States as a CRS participating jurisdiction or replace an assessment of the customer's U.S. filing obligations.

Screening for sanctions and high-risk relationships

Austria's current FM-GwG includes requirements related to the risk of failing to implement or evading targeted financial sanctions, while enhanced due diligence rules also apply to relationships involving high-risk third countries. Customers should expect banks to verify customers, controllers, counterparties and fund flows under applicable law. RBI's public account-opening page does not disclose its internal lists, trigger rules or acceptance/refusal criteria.

Compliance evidence

Account-opening compliance and supporting-document checklist

The bank’s stated requirements, local regulations, and preparation recommendations are presented separately. Acceptance in a specific case is subject to confirmation by the bank.

This guide concerns companies and institutional customers considering a business account with the RBI Group. The group’s network pages do not establish that Raiffeisen Bank International AG is necessarily the account-opening entity. The RBI Group eAccount Opening page says it covers Austria and Central and Eastern European markets where the RBI Group operates, and lists annual turnover of at least EUR 100 million as a threshold for inquiries about this service, not as a commitment to accept or approve an application. RBI’s public information does not confirm the scope of personal retail account applications with this legal entity. Personal and nonresident eligibility, as well as the entity actually providing the account, must first be confirmed in writing. If you engage Rengangyongsheng for assistance, Mr. Tang can personally follow up on documents and appointments, explain fees in advance, and confirm the appointment time in advance; he cannot guarantee that the bank will accept an application or open an account.

Information evidence package

Company identity, signing authority, and digital submission documents

Who it applies to: Businesses/institutions intending to apply; individuals are relevant only when acting as directors, authorized representatives, or controllers. This is not an itemized mandatory document list published by RBI AG.
Documents to Prepare: Prepare proof of company registration and good standing, articles of association, registered address information, and the latest company registration extract to explain the applicant entity and its legal status.
Prepare identity documents for directors/authorized signatories, a board resolution or power of attorney, and details of account signing authority and purpose.

Description: RBI expressly describes a service that collects company data via a website, accepts document uploads and provides a pre-filled contract package for digital signing. The eKYC page says the system pre-fills forms with existing data and asks only questions related to the company. The document checklist, issuance timeframes, authentication/notarization requirements, translation languages, supplemental paper submissions and scope of electronic-signature roles are not published and must be confirmed case by case.

Ownership chain, ultimate beneficial owners, and control rights

Who it applies to: All legal entities intending to open an account, companies with complex ownership structures, trusts, or other legal arrangements; the depth of verification is determined by the bank based on customer risk.
Documents to Prepare: Provide an ownership chart tracing each tier from the applicant company to individuals, listing ownership percentages, voting rights, means of control, and the place of registration of each intermediate entity.
It is advisable to prepare the shareholder register, company registry or beneficial-owner registry extract, and documents explaining indirect ownership, contractual control, or nominee-holding arrangements.
Prepare proof of identity for the relevant individuals and an explanation of their control relationships. If no identifiable ownership controller exists, also prepare an explanation of the basis for identifying actual control or senior management as a substitute.
Description: FM-GwG §6 requires institutions to identify and verify beneficial owners and understand the ownership and control structure of legal entities and arrangements. Austria’s FMA explains that beneficial ownership is also governed separately by WiEReG. The RBI account-opening pages reviewed do not publish a uniform shareholding-percentage threshold; do not assume that thresholds commonly used in other countries are RBI standards.

Genuine business, account purpose and flow of funds

Who it applies to: Applicants intending to open a business account; intended to describe expected account activity in advance, and is not a list of documents RBI has published as mandatory.
Documents to Prepare: It is advisable to prepare a concise business description stating the products/services, countries where customers and suppliers are located, intended account use, and expected currencies and approximate frequency/amounts of receipts and payments.
It is advisable to prepare recent financial statements or management accounts, major contracts/orders/invoices, and the corresponding payment routes to show that anticipated transactions are consistent with the company’s scale of operations.
Organize evidence of the source of funds according to the intended method of capital injection, such as contracts and invoices corresponding to business income, shareholder contribution resolutions and remittance records, financing agreements, or asset disposal documents.
Description: FM-GwG §6 requires institutions to understand the purpose and expected nature of a business relationship, obtain and verify the source of funds invested, and continuously check whether transactions are consistent with their understanding of the customer, business, and risk profile. Business documents are suggested as preparation to help explain and verify information; RBI has not published itemized requirements.

Due diligence and enhanced verification

Verification of Beneficial Owners and Control Chain

Basis for Verification: Austria's FM-GwG §6 requires identification of beneficial owners, reasonable measures to verify their identity, and an understanding of the ownership and control structure of legal entities or similar arrangements. The FMA lists WiEReG as the legal framework for beneficial ownership registration. RBI has not published the ownership threshold, document authentication specifications or risk tiering standards for this product.
Preparation recommendation: It is advisable to provide a structure chart traceable to natural persons, together with registration documents, shareholder/control agreements and identity information. Explain each instance of multiple layers of foreign entities, trusts, nominee holdings, voting rights or inconsistencies with registration information, and prepare supporting documents.
Scope: Local regulations; the account-opening bank determines the specific verification method and depth based on the case and risk assessment. No claim is made that RBI has published a specific threshold.

Source of Funds, Business Rationale, and Anticipated Transactions

Basis for Verification: FM-GwG §6 requires institutions to understand the purpose and nature of a business relationship, obtain and verify the source of funds invested, and continuously check whether transactions are consistent with the customer’s business and risk profile. The bank’s public eKYC service description says that company-related information is collected digitally, but does not provide a list of required documents.
Preparation recommendation: It is advisable to match each source of funds to contracts, invoices, financial statements, financing/contribution resolutions, and bank statements, and state the relationship between the payer in the flow of funds and the applicant company. Explain the expected countries, counterparties, currencies, and amounts, including seasonal or one-off transactions that differ from normal activity.
Scope: Local statutory due diligence obligations plus general preparation advice; this does not mean RBI has publicly required every applicant to submit each of the listed documents.

Source:RBI Group eAccount Opening；RBI eKYC；Austria's Legal Information System RIS: consolidated current text of the Financial Markets Anti-Money Laundering Act (FM-GwG)

Politically exposed persons (PEPs), family members, and close associates

Basis for Verification: FM-GwG §11 requires financial institutions to use risk-management procedures to identify customers, beneficial owners, or authorized agents as PEPs before establishing a relationship and at appropriate regular intervals during the relationship. When establishing or maintaining a relationship with a PEP, the law lists measures including management approval, establishing the source of wealth and funds, and enhanced ongoing monitoring; it also covers family members and known close associates. PEP status alone does not mean a sanctions match or automatic rejection. RBI’s internal standards are not public.
Preparation recommendation: If you, a beneficial owner, or a related person currently holds or previously held a prominent public function, we recommend proactively disclosing the position, country of service and period, and relationship to the customer, and preparing verifiable explanations of how the wealth was accumulated and the source of the funds for this investment. Former public office should also be disclosed accurately, including the date the person left office, for the bank to assess under applicable law.
Scope: Austrian statutory requirements; the specific screening, approval levels and risk conclusions are determined by the bank.

Source:Austria's Legal Information System RIS: consolidated current text of the Financial Markets Anti-Money Laundering Act (FM-GwG)

Cross-Border Countries, Non-Face-to-Face Account Opening, and Counterparty Risk

Basis for Verification: Annex III to FM-GwG lists risk factors including high-risk geographic areas, unusually complex ownership, non-face-to-face relationships without adequate safeguards, and payments from unknown or unrelated third parties. These factors call for a risk assessment and do not mean that all applicants from the relevant countries or industries are rejected. RBI provides only an overview of its group’s markets and digital processes and has not published applicant-country coverage or its risk appetite.
Preparation recommendation: It is advisable to list the company’s place of incorporation, actual place of business, shareholders’/controllers’ places of residence, main transaction countries, and routes through which funds pass. For third-party payments, complex structures, or remote identity verification, prepare the commercial rationale, contract chain, and relevant persons’ authorizations, and first confirm whether the proposed countries and people may use the online process.
Scope: Local regulatory risk factors and general preparation advice; RBI has not made public its country or industry criteria, eligibility for remote identity verification, or internal limits.

Ongoing maintenance obligations

Changes to customer information and authorized representatives

FM-GwG §6 requires periodic review and updating of statutory due diligence information. During the relationship, customers must proactively and promptly notify the bank of changes to an authorized representative’s authority. Companies should promptly inform the bank of material changes to ownership/control, registered address, directors, signing authority, business model, or tax status, and resubmit evidence as required by the bank. RBI has not published specific notification channels, update frequencies, or timelines.

Source:Austria's Legal Information System RIS: consolidated current text of the Financial Markets Anti-Money Laundering Act (FM-GwG)

Transaction monitoring and explaining unusual transactions

The bank is legally required to monitor the relationship and transactions to assess whether they are consistent with the known business and risk profile, and to verify the source of funds where necessary. Account holders should keep contracts, invoices, delivery/logistics records and payment explanations available so they can explain countries, third-party payments or changes in amounts that differ from the account-opening expectations. RBI has not published a fixed review cycle or alert thresholds.

Source:Austria's Legal Information System RIS: consolidated current text of the Financial Markets Anti-Money Laundering Act (FM-GwG)

Due diligence records and limits on document retention

FM-GwG §21 sets a statutory retention period of ten years after the end of the relationship for regulated institutions to retain due diligence documents and transaction records. This is the bank’s record-keeping obligation and should not be misrepresented as a uniform retention period publicly disclosed by RBI for customers. Customers should keep company and transaction evidence that can be provided promptly for subsequent checks, and confirm with the bank how to update information or submit additional documents through its customer portal.

Please confirm with the bank before booking

Which legal entity will actually accept this account application: Raiffeisen Bank International AG or a local subsidiary of the RBI Group? Are the applicant’s place of incorporation, place of business, and shareholders’ places of residence within that entity’s service scope?
Does the EUR 100 million consultation threshold apply to this case? Is it only a condition for routing enquiries, or must other product or industry eligibility criteria also be met?
Please provide the complete document checklist for the company type and place of registration in this case, and confirm acceptable issue dates for registry extracts/authorisation documents, certification or notarisation, translation languages, and paper-copy requirements.
Are myRaiffeisen eKYC and Video ID available for the location in this case and for each director, beneficial owner, and authorized signatory? Which roles still need in-person verification or separate certification?
Does the bank require additional statements on source of funds/source of wealth, a projected transaction schedule, or documents for a specific financial year? What additional-document procedures are triggered by PEP status, complex ownership, or cross-border transactions?
Please confirm the account fees, minimum balance or initial deposit, account-opening processing time, channels for updating information, and periodic review arrangements; these items are not specified on the public pages at present.

Not confirmed by public information

The public Group eAccount Opening introduction describes the group’s markets and online steps, but does not guarantee that a specific overseas business, non-resident shareholder, or business in any particular industry can open an account, nor does it specify whether the account will ultimately be provided by RBI AG or a local subsidiary.
EUR 100 million is the consultation threshold for this service; it should not be treated as confirmed eligibility, a minimum deposit requirement, or approval to open an account.
RBI has not published, on the pages reviewed, a complete KYC document checklist, document validity periods, certification/notarization and translation rules, proof-of-address types, UBO thresholds or internal risk limits.
The eKYC page describes digital data collection, pre-filled data, and company-related questions, but does not specify coverage by country or role, specific identity document requirements, or whether remote account opening will necessarily be available.
Account fees, minimum balances, complete processing time frames, frequency of periodic information updates, and the bank’s specific risk appetite have not been made public. Confirm each item with the bank before making an appointment.

Sources & Scope of Verification

RBI Group eAccount Opening
RBI’s public description of the Group eAccount Opening digital process for corporate accounts: enter company data online, upload documents, receive a pre-filled contract package, sign digitally and check the status. The page says it covers Austria and CEE markets where the group has a presence, and states a EUR 100 million turnover threshold for enquiries about Group eAccount Opening. The page does not provide a complete document checklist or guarantee eligibility in individual cases.
RBI eKYC
RBI says eKYC digitally collects information through a web application, pre-fills forms using existing data, asks only questions related to the company and allows KYC cases for different corporate clients to be managed on the same platform. Document types, authentication standards, country coverage and completion times are not published.
Austria's Legal Information System RIS: consolidated current text of the Financial Markets Anti-Money Laundering Act (FM-GwG)
Sections 6 (identification of customers/beneficial owners, purpose and nature, source of funds, ongoing monitoring, periodic updating of information, and notification of changes to authorised representatives), 11 (PEP identification and enhanced measures), 21 (institutional recordkeeping), and Annex III (risk factors) have been reviewed. These provisions explain statutory obligations in Austria; they do not represent RBI’s publicly disclosed customer document checklist or internal acceptance criteria.
Austrian Financial Market Authority (FMA): Legal basis for AML/CFT under national and European law
The FMA explains that FM-GwG applies to Austria’s financial market, that beneficial ownership is separately governed by WiEReG, and lists related supervisory circulars. This provides background on the local regulatory framework and should not be used to infer RBI-specific thresholds or unpublished account-opening policies.

Fees and timelines

The RBI corporate account opening and contact pages reviewed do not publicly disclose confirmable account opening fees, minimum account deposits, balance thresholds or the full account opening processing time. The figures EUR 100 million, EUR 200 million and EUR 500 million appearing on the pages are corporate inquiry/contact routing thresholds on different web pages, not deposit amounts or promises of approval. The approximately 10 minutes stated on the video identification page applies only to the identity verification step and cannot be treated as the account opening time.

Limitations and practical considerations

Descriptions of the RBI Group’s retail services for individuals in CEE refer to local subsidiaries; they must not be taken to mean that RBI AG directly accepts applications for personal retail accounts.
The turnover figure on the business page is used to direct inquiries or contacts and, by itself, does not establish that an applicant is eligible to open an account or that an account will be approved.
Public pages do not provide complete answers regarding foreign-registered entities, non-resident shareholders/UBOs, specific industries, proof of residential address, countries eligible for remote identification, or support from third-party witnesses; confirmation from RBI is required before submission.
This information records publicly available information only. It is not an account-opening appointment or agency channel, nor a channel currently available for appointments through Rengangyongsheng. Do not promise that applications will be accepted on this basis.

Licensing evidence and regulatory verification

1 entity-level record was found in the Austrian FMA’s company database by searching for “Raiffeisen Bank International AG”. The record classifies it as “Banken - In Österreich lizenzierte Banken” and lists the registered address Am Stadtpark 9, 1030 Wien, Bankleitzahl 31000 and Firmenbuchnummer 122119m, as well as BWG banking authorisations, including deposit-taking (Einlagengeschäft) and current account/payment transaction business (Girogeschäft). RBI’s legal notice also identifies it as a credit institution under Section 1 of the Austrian Banking Act (BWG) and lists FMA and ECB supervision. These materials verify the legal banking entity and the authorisation categories published by FMA. They do not imply that it accepts applications from any particular retail customer or non-resident, and Raiffeisen network subsidiaries are not treated as holding the same licence.
