Prepare a bank account
Compare identification, fees and access before choosing an account.
Your next steps
- Ask what identification and address evidence the bank accepts for your situation. Share documents only directly with the bank.
- Compare monthly fees, minimum balance, ATM fees, international transfers and overdraft settings. Read current terms.
- Check which deposit protection applies to the product and institution. Keep the agreement and set up transaction notifications.
