新加坡的在职证明：目的与用途

A Certificate of Incumbency is issued by a business entity containing the names of all current directors of a company which is based there. In certain instances, it may also contain the names of the most important shareholders of the company.

The primary use of a Certificate of Incumbency is to verify the identity of an individual who has been performing legally binding transactions in the name of the company.

In Singapore, a Certificate of Incumbency may also be known as a company’s ACRA business profile. Every Singapore incorporated company has a Certificate of Incumbency automatically issued upon registration. It is the most common business document used for verification.

A non-exhaustive list of common occurrences a Certificate of Incumbency is used in Singapore:

Certificates of Incumbency are particularly useful for those who plan to open a Singapore corporate bank account from abroad and are either unable or unwilling to personally go to Singapore in order to open such an account.

Other documents required for a bank account opening:

In most cases, the company’s signatories are to have signed an official document from either the Registrar of Companies or the government in the presence of the bank’s staff members before the bank account can be opened.

If such did not happen, all signatures are to be duly approved by a notary public, a High Commissioner or Ambassador of Singapore, or an external authorised signatory of one of the bank’s branches in a country other than Singapore.

Many look to Singapore for offshore company registration and bank accounts for the management of their finances which may be kept in bank accounts spanning multiple countries. However, in order to ensure that the person who is opening the offshore bank account is not doing so for any illicit purposes, the authorities require certain documents to be presented. One such document is the Certificate of Incumbency.

Another important document to be submitted for the opening of an offshore bank account is the Certificate of Good Standing. The Certificate of Good Standing provides the authorities with ample verification that a particular company has been authorized to conduct business activities and has been legally incorporated in a particular jurisdiction.

When used and submitted in conjunction with a Certificate of Incumbency, it is possible for the owner of a company based in Singapore to open an offshore bank account without facing any notable difficulties. Thus, Certificates of Incumbency assist in the opening of bank accounts of all types.
