What BRIDGE can tell you now

Banks decide their own account-opening requirements and conduct identity and compliance checks. BRIDGE can help you prepare questions and understand the bank’s instructions, but cannot guarantee that an account will be opened.

What to check

  • ✓Check the exact documents and eligibility requirements with the bank you plan to use; do not rely on a universal checklist.
  • ✓Be ready to explain the intended use of the account and provide the information the bank lawfully requests for verification.

Important

Never send BRIDGE your online-banking password, PIN, one-time password, security code, or secret authentication answer.
