Opening a financial account traditionally involves paperwork, signatures and sometimes an in-person identity check. With Selma, you can complete the account opening process online instead.
Why is it more convenient to open an account online through a video chat?
Review your documents in your own time
Your account documents are prepared digitally during the onboarding process, so you can review them before completing the account opening.
No trip to a post office or branch

Complete the process directly online
