Is it possible to open an international bank account online in 2025?

Posted by Rihzn on September 14, 2025, 9:10 am

Is it possible to open an international bank account online in 2025? I understand that it sounds like an eternal topic, but the situation is constantly changing. Some friends say that nothing will work without a personal visit to the bank, others assure that it is quite possible to open an account online - the main thing is to prepare a package of documents. And here is the main question: what difficulties await during verification? For example, if there is no utility bill in your name, or an address in another country. Plus, banks have begun to ask more often about the source of income, and this can also slow down the process. Share your experience: who managed to register an international account remotely, and what were the pitfalls?

I recently helped a friend open such an account. The process took almost three weeks due to document verification. The main problem is proving your address and income. If everything is in order, then it's possible. But without utility bills or tax returns, banks often refuse.

This analysis of how to open international bank account online was very helpful to me in this regard. Of course, it is worth mentioning that the online option does exist, but the main obstacle here is not the application button, but the KYC verification. So if you don't have recent utility bills or tax receipts on hand, the likelihood of rejection increases. By the way, the comments there mention which banks actually work with non-residents and explain that sometimes it is easier to start the process online, but the final verification still has to be done via video call. The community gave me an understanding that this is possible, you just have to be prepared for the bureaucracy.
