• Proof of physical address aboard, not older than 3 months

The benefits of opening such an account include:

• These types of accounts can be funded by foreign currencies. (Documentary evidence might be required in order to prove this.)
• Should you want to open a multi – currency bank account, you will need to also open a Rand account at the same time.
