Opening an Account

What's the Criteria?

Individuals aged 18 years or over who have St Helenian status, or have a clear St Helena connection, can apply to open an account. This is normally defined as an individual that either:

  • Is a St Helenian or has St Helenian status
  • Has a current entitlement to undertake paid employment on St Helena.  However, it should be noted that upon completion of the contract of employment on St Helena (ie: departure from the island) the account/s must be closed prior to the customers departure from the island
  • Owns property on St Helena
  • Is a close or dependent relative or life partner of someone in any of the above categories
  • Has a good credit history

Although the qualifying age for opening an account is 18 years and over, a person from the age of 16 years may open an account with the bank as per the qualification above; however, they must also demonstrate that they have some form of employment, hence the need for the account.
