Who can open a GoTyme Bank account?

Anyone aged 18 years old and above can open a GoTyme Bank account — whether you’re a Filipino citizen or a foreign national legally residing in the Philippines. GoTyme Bank aims to make digital banking simple and accessible while ensuring compliance with regulatory standards under the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) and international laws such as FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act).

For Filipino Citizens:

You are eligible to open a GoTyme Bank account if you meet the following:

  • You are 18 years old or older.
  • You hold Philippine citizenship.
  • You have at least one (1) valid government-issued ID from the list below:
    • Passport
    • Driver’s License
    • UMID (Unified Multi-Purpose ID)
    • PhilSys ID (Philippine Identification System ID)
    • SSS ID
    • Postal ID
    • PRC ID
    • Voter’s ID
  • You have a Philippine or international mobile number that is not yet linked to another GoTyme Bank account.

For Foreign Nationals:

You can also open a GoTyme Bank account if you are a foreign national living in the Philippines, provided that you have:

  • A valid Passport, and
  • An ACR-I Card (Alien Certificate of Registration Identity Card) issued by the Bureau of Immigration.

Your ACR-I Card serves as proof of legal stay in the Philippines and is required for identity verification.

GoTyme Bank conducts identity and tax residency checks as part of its Know-Your-Customer (KYC) process. This ensures that all accounts comply with both local and international banking regulations and remain safe from fraudulent use.

Tip: Make sure your ID is valid, unexpired, and the information matches what you input in the app. Blurred or mismatched details can delay account verification.
