Two Ways to Apply for a Bank Account in Georgia

All applications remain subject to the bank's own compliance review and final approval.

Once we review your case and confirm that we can assist you, we help prepare the necessary information and KYC documentation before the banking process begins.

You can then choose between two ways of proceeding: visiting Georgia personally or completing the process remotely through an authorised representative.

Foreigners and non-residents may be able to use either route. Availability and documentation depend on your circumstances and the bank's review.

Visit Georgia

Once you arrive in Georgia, we can meet you at the airport and assist you with getting to your hotel. After you leave your luggage, we accompany you to the bank branch and guide you throughout the appointment.
