GwG - Identification

Your Identity Verified – Fast and Safe

To open a bank account with a financial institution in Germany, a formal identity verification is required by law under the German Money Laundering Act (GwG).
We provide professional support throughout this process and ensure that all legal requirements are met in full compliance with the regulations.

FIVE SIMPLE STEPS TO LEGAL IDENTIFICATION

• Step 1: Your Initial Inquiry Including the Following Information
  - The reason for your request, especially whether you are planning to open a personal or a business account
  - Name and address of the German bank where you intend to open your account
• Step 2: Appointment Scheduling
  Once we have received your inquiry, we will contact you promptly to suggest a suitable appointment for the identification procedure.
  Our business hours: Monday to Friday, 10:00 am – 4:00 pm (local time)
• Step 3: Preparing for the Appointment
  1. Submit your documents
  Please send us all relevant documents you have received from your German bank. This should include, in particular, the required identification form (a sample form is attached below for your reference). If your bank has not provided such a form, we will contact the institution on your behalf to obtain it. Please note that the bank identification form of each bank is different.
  
  2. Payment of processing fee
  The service fee is 4.000 NT$ (tax inclusive) per client. Please contact your German bank in advance to check if costs can be covered. Our banking details will be provided with your appointment confirmation.
• Step 4: On the Day of the Appointment
  Please bring the following original documents with you:
  - Proof of identity: A valid passport or national ID card
  - Documents: All relevant documents provided by your bank (Do not fill out in advance)
  
  Procedure during the appointment:
  - We will fill out the required identification form together with you.
  - Your information will be verified against your identification document.
  - We will make copies of your ID and the completed form. All documents will be stored in accordance with legal requirements for a period of five years and will be permanently deleted no later than ten years after the date of collection.
• Step 5: Submission to Your Bank
  After the appointment, we will send the completed original identification form along with a copy of your ID directly to your bank in Germany. We’ve got it covered — you don’t need to do anything else.
