How to Get Started

- Use the app for transfers, CliQ and bill payments.
Opening a bank account usually needs identity documents, and non-residents may need proof of residence or a branch visit, so ask the bank which documents it accepts in your situation. Short-stay visitors usually manage with cash and a foreign card, because a bank account is mainly for residents. Fees, limits and requirements change, so check the bank's current terms. Never share your PIN or one-time codes.
