KYC questionnaire completion is a legal requirement for all clients.

It requires answering a few questions about your financial status, such as:

  • What are the most common sources for your funds? Maybe it’s your wage, or maybe it’s scholarship money.
  • What is your expected monthly turnover?
  • Do you expect to receive up to 1,000 EUR per month to this account or closer to 10,000 EUR?
  • Do you or your relatives hold any political positions?

>To confirm your identity, you must submit a document – your passport or identity card. Choose from the menu the document that you will use.

For the ID card, you need to take two photos – the front and the back of the document. If you choose the passport, you will only need to take a photo of the basic data page.

Rotate your phone horizontally to landscape orientation (90° to the left) and make sure the document data is visible and readable.

6. Take a selfie

Once the document is submitted, you must take a picture of yourself (a selfie) to make sure you are the same person as on the provided document.

Make sure your face is clearly visible and positioned in the frame. You must be alone in the photo and must not be wearing a hat, sunglasses, or other face-obscuring items.

You are ready! Your account is open!
