Global Accounts

Corpay provides a fast, efficient and reliable way to open and manage local accounts across key investment jurisdictions, with a cutting-edge accounts solution built for the alternative investments industry.

Opening and managing bank accounts for your investment entities should be fast, simple and reliable. But the reality can be very different.
That’s why we’ve purpose-built global accounts solution specifically for the alternative investment industry. Quickly and easily access local accounts across key investment jurisdictions and manage them all in one place, with the proactive support of a dedicated team who understands your industry. Unlike traditional providers, we never require minimum balances or activity to open or maintain an account.

We’ve provided more than 10,000 accounts to over 2,000 investment managers and 300 service providers. From emerging managers to global institutions, the reasons are consistent:
