Opening a bank account?

miti · Post by **miti** » Tue Aug 30, 2005 9:24 am

when my husband and I opened an account in Nordea we didn't need anything but our passports. At that time I didn't have my residence permit yet and my husband didn't even live in Finland, but it didn't seem to bother them at all

Am I the only one rebelling here with an Ålandsbanken bank card?

(this is what happens if you go to Parainen to be an au pair...)

I'm with Osuuspankki, I got the account before I moved here, no problem. I think I had to fill out the form at the post office to prove my postal address in Finland, and then they photocopy you're passport. A few weeks later, I got an electron card. It was a while ago, so I'm not 100% certain how I did it, but it know wasn't difficult, even though technically I was still living in the UK, I didnt have a job, or residency etc at that time..

Not me, the family was

And after I left I was just too lazy to change to another bank (didn't see any special reaosn why either).
