Hi all,

is it difficult for expats to open a bank account in Swaziland ?

Which documents are required to open a bank account in Swaziland ?

How long does it take to open it ?

Is there any restriction for expats regarding the services (loans for instance) ?

Which bank would you recommend ?

Thanks in advance for your participation,

Julien

Hi Julien

I see no one has posted any replies here. Its fairly easy you will need your passport employment letter and or rental agreement but it may differ slightly between banks. Here you will find a lical swazi bank and the 3 larger South African banks namely First National Standard Bank and Nedbank. To get a loan the normal rule apply you will need to prove income and have the same documents as mentioned earlier.

I have been here for 6 months now and experienced various frustrations with Standard bank I would recommend First National but as always peoples experience with banks are like cars.
