My account was suddenly limited. What should I do?

It's common for banks to request additional documentation after a while, especially for larger transactions. We guide you on what to present and which bank tends to be more flexible in these cases.

Do all Paraguayan banks have the same rules?

No, and these rules change frequently. That's why we keep updated guidance on which institution is currently more receptive to foreigners.

Bank Account Opening Guidance

A living guide so you're never lost at the bank.

Unlike a one-time account opening, this is ongoing guidance on how to open, maintain, and grow your bank account in Paraguay, from choosing the right bank for your profile to handling requirements that show up months after the account is already open.

Every Paraguayan bank has its own compliance policy toward foreigners, and these rules change often without notice, what worked for you a year ago may no longer apply today. We keep you updated on which bank is currently more receptive, which extra documents tend to be requested, and how to respond if your account gets limited or questioned.
