Open a bank account in Dominica

What to bring

What Republic Bank asks for when you open a e-Free Account in Dominica:

• A completed account application, done in branch or through Republic's online onboarding
• One or two valid forms of photo identification: passport, national ID card or driver's permit
• Proof of address dated within the last three months, such as a utility bill. If the bill is not in your name, bring the lease plus an authorisation letter from the account holder
• Proof of income: a job letter, a recent payslip, or business financials if you are self-employed
• The minimum opening deposit for the account

If you are not resident yet

Opening before you have moved, or while your status is still being sorted out? Republic Bank asks for these on top of the documents above:

• A utility bill covering the last three months, or your lease agreement
• Proof of income: job letter and payslip, or financials if you run a business
• A banker's reference letter from your current bank
• Your work permit, CARICOM Skills Certificate or student documentation, where these apply

Good to know

• •No monthly maintenance fee. Three in-branch transactions a month are free; after that a monthly charge of EC$15 applies.
• •Republic Bank (EC) Limited took over Scotiabank's Eastern Caribbean branches, so an old Scotiabank account here is now a Republic account.
