Nothing here is a surprise on the day. Read it through, gather what you need, and the application itself is straightforward.
Check you are eligible
You need to be 18 or over, hold valid government-issued photo identification, and be able to evidence a residential address in a country we serve.
- Aged 18 or over
- Valid passport, national ID or driving licence
- Proof of address from the last three months
- Your tax residency and tax identification number
Get your documents ready
Photograph or scan them before you start. A clear, uncropped image is the single biggest factor in getting approved first time.
- All four corners visible
- No glare across the text or photograph
- Document must be unexpired
- Name must match your application exactly
Complete the application
Your legal name, date of birth, address, contact details, nationality, tax residency and employment information. It saves as you go, so you can finish later.
Verify your identity
Upload your documents through the secure screen. This is a legal requirement for every regulated institution — it is also what stops anyone opening an account in your name.
Fund and start banking
Once approved, your account number and banking details appear in online banking. Make a first deposit and set up two-factor authentication, and you are live.
What you will need
Have these ready and the application takes minutes. Documents that are expired, cropped or do not match the name on the application are the single most common cause of delay.
Photographing documents
Flat, dark, non-reflective surface in good natural light. All four corners in frame, no glare across the text or photograph.
Photo identification
Valid passport, national identity card or driving licence.
Proof of address
Utility bill, bank statement, tax notice or government letter from the last three months.
Tax details
Your tax identification number and country of tax residency.
Never email your documents
Upload them only through the secure screen in the application or in online banking. Prime Wealth Corporation Bank will never ask you to send identity documents by email or message.
