Personal accounts: Uruguay

An honest assessment before work starts, the quote is fixed in writing.

We assess your chances against your profile, prepare the compliance file, help you present your source of funds properly and handle communication with the bank until it decides. The final decision always rests with the bank, so no one can guarantee an opening - careful preparation simply improves the odds.

We quote the exact cost for this country after a short consultation: it depends on the bank and your residency. The quote is fixed in writing before work starts.

FAQ

Can a non-resident open a bank account in Uruguay?

Yes. Uruguay is one of the few countries in the region where this is realistic for a non-resident, though banks have become much more selective and want a complete source of funds file.

Do I need residency first?

Not for every bank, but residency and a local tax ID make it far easier: more banks approve, and you get access to more products and better terms.

What is the minimum balance for non-residents?

Non-resident packages carry meaningful minimums and they vary a lot between banks. Ask for current figures in writing before you fly in, since published information ages quickly.

Does Uruguay share account data under CRS?

Yes, Uruguay participates in CRS and banking secrecy does not block the exchange. Your account details are reported to the country where you are tax resident.
