Banking & Debit Cards

Cloud-Based Companies are best suited for individual entrepreneurs or small teams who want to own an LTD company that they can manage from anywhere in the world, with low administrative costs and straightforward regulations.

24 hours after your company’s incorporation, your company’s bank account will be opened and IBAN will be activated. Your corporate bank account is registered in EMI in European Union.

Internet Banking
Internet Banking
You can send and receive payments directly through the internet banking system integrated into the Sky Continent application. Transfers within the European Union usually arrive within seconds, and no later than the next business day. International transfers outside SEPA may take 1–5 business days, depending on the destination country.

03
Payment Links
Payment Links
With each invoice you issue, you can generate a payment link allowing clients to pay for your services with their credit or debit cards. Once payment is completed through the payment link, the invoice is automatically recognized as paid and marked accordingly in the list of your company issued invoices.

Debit Cards
VISA Prepaid Cards
Ordering and managing your debit cards is another feature available in the Sky Continent application. Your company debit cards are VISA prepaid cards issued by the issuer from European Union and shipped the next day after you make the order.
Ordering Cards
You can order up to 100 prepaid debit cards for yourself or other team members.
Side Navigation → Banking → Debit Cards → Order New Debit Card
Charging Cards
Before using your VISA prepaid cards, you will need to first transfer a selected amount of funds from your company’s bank account to the card - this process is called charging the card. The prepaid VISA cards hold only the amount you transfer there from the company’s bank account. Cards are not automatically deducting payments from your company bank account, which provides additional security if the card is lost or misused.

Using Cards
Once funds are loaded onto the card, it works like a regular debit card for in-store payments, online purchases, and ATM withdrawals worldwide. If you transfer more funds than intended, you can return the funds back to the company account at any time, using the Sky Continent application.
Side Navigation → Banking → Debit Cards → ???
Cards’ Balances and Transactions
All debit card(s) transactions and balances are visible to directors and shareholders of the company and all transactions are automatically recorded in the accounting system as company expenses.
Side Navigation → Banking → Bank Account Balance
Blocking Cards
You can block your debit card in the application if you suspect it has been lost or stolen. Before blocking the card, please transfer the funds on the card back to the company’s account for higher security. You may order a new card at any time.

Personal Bank Accounts
Receiving Profits
Shareholders decide to which country and to which bank account they wish to receive their profits and dividends. Shareholders may change their personal Home Bank Account at any time. When a Director clicks on “Send Dividends” in the internet banking, the payment is automatically distributed to the bank account listed in the application as the currently active Home Bank Account of each shareholder.

Personal Bank Accounts in more countries?
Shareholders who are frequent world travellers may receive dividends in any country of their choice; however, taxation of dividends depends on their tax residency and applicable local regulations. In practice, shareholders usually choose to receive dividends in the place where they manage their personal taxation, health insurance, or retirement obligations.
If you are a tax resident in more than one country and receive dividends to different bank accounts at different times, Sky Continent makes it easy to track your payments throughout the year. A complete overview of all dividends received is available in the personal section of the application.

Investing into your Company
Investing
If your company does not yet generate profits but needs to pay the monthly fee, or if you wish to fund the purchase of assets or real estate through your Cloud-Based Company bank account, you may inject funds into your own Cloud-Based Company quickly and easily. Go to Internet Banking and click Invest Into Your Company. The system will generate a payment link allowing you to transfer funds using your personal credit card, debit card, or internet banking. The funds will then be credited to your Cloud-Based Company’s bank account.
Side Navigation → Banking → Internet Banking → Invest into your Company
Returning Investment
Once the company generates profits, you may repay yourself by selecting General Payment and choosing the payment type Return of Investment. A Return of Investment represents repayment of funds previously invested into the company and is not treated as taxable income.
Side Navigation → Banking → Internet Banking → General Payment → Payment Type: Return of Investment
NOTE
If you are not a Director of your Cloud-Based Company but wish to invest funds as a shareholder, internet banking will not be accessible to you. You will need to ask a shareholder who is also a Director of the Cloud-Based Company to generate the payment link so that you can invest funds into the company. The same applies to Return of Investment payments.
07
Banking - After Company’s Closure
Remaining Company’s Funds
If there are any funds remaining in the company’s bank account after the company was closed, they will be transferred to the personal home bank account(s) of the active shareholder(s) as dividends by the Sky Continent Management House. The dividends will be distributed in proportion to each shareholder’s ownership percentage.
The cost for company closure is 6 EUR which can be covered from the last balance on the bank account.
