03 — What you'll need
Bring three things.
Opening is a single visit to any of our four Bujumbura branches.
- A recent passport-size photo of each signatory
- Original CNI or a valid passport — plus an establishment visa for foreign nationals
- The minimum opening deposit for your chosen account
Opening for a business? You'll also need the company's articles of association, certificate of incorporation, NIF and a board resolution naming signatories.
Open yours in one visit.
Walk into any branch with your ID and deposit — or call +257 222 59988 and we'll prepare everything before you arrive.
