When an account is
being opened from outside Antigua, certified copies of the documents have
to be mailed to the bank; otherwise the originals must be presented to the bank
officer. Only notarized documents are accepted in
order to open and activate a new account.
Documents required to open an
account:
For ALL accounts
- completed and signed application set for account opening
- two original references
for applicant (the person who will manage the account). One reference should be from a bank and one from a
business associate.

Copies of all the above documents must be duly notarized and, if neccessary, translated into English.
Before or after opening an
account, the bank also may request some additional documents.
Your account will
be opened after we receive all of the required documents. The confirmation and
account number will be send to you by electronic mail.
Then we'll wait for your wire transfer of initial deposit to activate the account. Wire transfer instructions you can find
at banking online iFrontDesk services. Initial deposit should cover account opening fee, card(s)
issuance (if any), courier and other expenses. We recommend to transfer an amount that
after all charges will exceed US$ 5000.00 to avoid monthly maintenance fee of
US$ 10.00.
Accounts which have not been funded within six (6) months after opening are subject to automatic closure.
After the initial deposit is received and
depending on what was stated in your application we will mail to you some of the following:
- user name (login) and password - for Banking Online -
to monitor your account activity
- Digipass V5
digital signature device
- for dinamic password generation for Banking Online access and/or to
authorize (sign) transfers from
your account(s) online
- Test Key Table
(TTK) - to authorize (sign) your
orders via
Banking Online or by fax or email
You will be able to use Banking
Online
to monitor your account activity
and to make transactions once your account is activated. You can also request
transactions by electronic mail or by fax and, of course, you can always give us
instructions in person.
