Additional Information
** The bank accounts are for the deposits pertaining to payments made to the Registrar of Companies and are not intended for transactions with other government departments.
There will be delays in allocating funds not intended for the Registrar of Companies and the department will not be held responsible for any penalties incurred.
** Include the broker and/or agent registration number in the bank reference field.
** All bank fees are borne by the sender. Any shortages in fees will reflect as an underpayment and will generate a penalty, if applicable. Companies will be deemed to be non-compliant until the difference is paid in full. Contact HSBC for transaction fees.
** Licence fees are deemed to have been received when the transaction appears on the Bermuda Government account- not on the date the funds were submitted.
This must be taken into consideration when sending funds from other countries and other local banks that may require a longer period of time to process the funds. Contact HSBC for processing times.
