Opening a bank account - what documents do i need?

Jonathan1974

Moving to Erbil in Jan and want to open a bank account up with either Standard Chartered or Citigroup.

Any ideas as to how easy this is? I.e. what sort of documentation do I need etc.?

Many thanks in advance!

Hi there Kenjee,

Thanks for the response. Not sure what formalities you mean however? Sorry!

Hello jonathan,

Well by formalities, I meant the documentations needed and whatever else that might be needed and where to go to get a bank account :)

Have a great day!

You need your passport or residency card, but bring both if you have them just in case.

You also need your contract stating the amount of your salary or a letter from your employer to the same effect.
