Banking & BankID
Documents banks ask for
Banks must check who you are and why you want an account. Bringing the right papers the first time saves a second visit.
Why banks ask so many questions
Swedish anti–money laundering law requires banks to know their customers (kundkännedom): who you are, why you want the account, where your money comes from and how you will use it. They may ask again later. It is not personal — answer clearly and keep documents ready.
