How do I become a client?

It takes a few minutes to become a MeDirect customer. To apply, just click on the Become a Client button and follow the steps indicated on screen.

Why do I need to disclose whether I am a US citizen, US resident alien or US tax resident?

MeDirect asks this question in order to comply with the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA). This is a US law which requires non-US financial institutions to provide the US tax authority (the Internal Revenue Service or IRS) with information on certain US persons with accounts outside of the US. If you qualify as a US person, you cannot apply for an account.

How do I open an account?

If you already hold an account with MeDirect opening additional accounts is quick and easy. Just Log In to your account, click on ‘Open an Account’, and follow the steps indicated on screen.

Once your application is confirmed, you will just need to Log In, click on ‘Open an Account’ and follow the steps indicated on screen.

Can I open a joint account online?

Yes, you can open a joint account online. If you are both existing clients and have your online banking activated, the main account holder will be required to initiate the process online. The main account holder will also need to indicate that the account is to be in joint names and providing the joint account holder’s client number. The joint account holder will consequently receive an SMS notification, requesting him or her to log in and authorise account opening. If you are new clients, you would need to click on ‘Become a Client’ and follow the steps indicated on screen for joint accounts.
