Account questions
Before we launch.
Can a student open an account today?
No. The U.S. platform is in development and this website does not accept account applications.
Will every international student be eligible?
Eligibility has not been finalized. Supported locations, residency requirements, documentation and approval criteria will depend on the banking provider.
Who would hold the account?
The selected banking provider would provide the account under its agreements and disclosures. No U.S. banking provider or deposit insurance arrangement is announced on this website.
What are the fees or savings rates?
Fees, limits, interest rates and any minimum balance requirements have not been set. Product-specific terms will be disclosed before an eligible student chooses a service.
