Can I apply for an account without a Social Security Number (SSN) or Social Insurance Number (SIN) or as a foreign citizen?

Truly Financial is available to businesses located in the United States and in Canada, with certain exceptions.

Business owners and officers of the company can be U.S. or Canadian citizens and/or residents.

We can also accept U.S. / Canadian businesses owned by foreign residents. However, we cannot open accounts for business owners who are residents of (or have strong ties to) certain high-risk jurisdictions.

As a business owner or officer living outside the United States or Canada, you can apply by providing documents that establish your link to the company, and help to verify your ID which may include the following:

  • A copy of your foreign passport.
  • Government-issued document to prove your address. You must provide your foreign residential address and not the business address.

Additional supporting documents may be required once you have completed the ID verification using our online process.

For proof of address you may provide one of the following documents:

  • Utility Bill issued by a public utility company. Private utility bills like cable tv, PO Box, etc are not accepted.
  • Bank Statement
  • Driver’s Licence
  • Mortgage Statement

Note:
a) If you are a resident of the United States, you must provide your SSN number
b) If you are a citizen or resident of Canada, we do not ask for SIN number
