- You are moving to Serbia or already live here and want to receive your salary and pay rent and utilities from your own account.

- You are applying for a residence permit and need a Serbian account to show proof of funds.
How it works
- 01
Consultation
We check your citizenship, status in Serbia (visa, white card, residence permit) and what the account is for. This determines which banks will open an account and on what terms.
- 02
Choosing a bank
We choose a bank and branch that currently opens accounts for clients with your citizenship and arrange the visit in advance.
- 03
Documents
We prepare the package: passport, proof of address in Serbia (white card) and any other papers the bank asks for. We translate the forms.
- 04
Bank visit
We go to the bank with you and help with translation and the forms.
- 05
Card and online banking
We help set up the mobile app and explain transfers and bill payments.
Documents you will need
- Passport
- White card (address registration in Serbia)
- Residence permit, if you already have one
- Serbian phone number
The exact list depends on your situation; we will prepare it during the consultation.
Timing
The account is usually opened on the day of the visit or within a few working days. The card arrives within 1–2 weeks. Bank requirements for non-residents change, so we confirm the exact list of documents before the visit.
Frequently asked questions
Can I open an account without a residence permit?

Can I open a euro account?

Do I need to be there in person?
As a rule, yes: the bank identifies the client in person.
