Steps to open your Bankinter Account

Opening your Salary Account online couldn't be easier. Here we tell you step by step how to do it:

Sign up

We just need to know four things about you: your full name, ID, mobile telephone number and email address.

What is my username and password?

The username will be displayed on the registration confirmation screen. You will receive your password by SMS. You will only need it the first time you log in. Once you are logged in, you will be asked to change it.

We want to get to know you a bit

In order to continue and get to know you better, we will need you to tell us:

Where you live
Your marital status
Your profession
What you plan to use the account for

Confirm your identity

Once you have registered, we will ask you to confirm your identity so we can get to know you a bit better. To do this, you will need to take a photograph of your ID card and record a short video using our Bankinter ID app.
