What if my proof of income document is not written in a supported language?

As part of our remote bank account opening service, you will need to provide a document that serves as your proof of income. This must be an official document that indicates your income and must be written in any of the following languages: English, Portuguese, Spanish, French or Italian.


If you cannot provide your proof of income document in one of the supported languages above, you will need to provide a certified English translation of your document. The requirements for this translation vary based on your country of residence. See the table below for more information.
