How long does it take to open an account?

Applying for an account takes 10 minutes or less.

After you send your application, it will take us up to 5 business days to conduct our due diligence and fully activate your account.

Sometimes the due diligence process takes slightly longer because we might need additional documents from you. Even in that case, it’ll be far quicker than most high street banks.
