How do I open an account and what do I need?

Applicants are required to provide Primary Photographic ID document (s) / and a Proof of Residence document:

Primary Photographic ID(s)

  • Passport (valid)
  • National ID
  • Driver’s Licence

Primary Photographic ID must show, full name and date of birth, and full name must match your application.

If two Primary Photographic ID’s are supplied, with at least one containing full residential address and within valid date, that also will satisfy AML/CTF requirements.

Proof of Residence

  • Bank or Credit Card Statement
