Yettel Bank

Yettel Bank ad Beograd · MB 17138669 · PIB 100000049 · www.yettelbank.rs

mostly refuse verified verified 2026-11-06
According to the bank's FAQ, a foreigner needs a permit (jedinstvena dozvola / dozvola za privremeni boravak i rad); with only a white card (beli karton, registration of stay) the bank does not open an account. For a basic account this requirement does not comply with the law.

Where to send the application

Yettel Bank ad Beograd Omladinskih brigada 88 11070 Novi Beograd

no separate address published; for written requests the bank itself gives “Omladinskih brigada 88, preporučenom pošiljkom sa povratnicom” (by registered mail with return receipt)

In person: at any branch of the bank. Bring a second copy of the application and ask staff to mark it as received, with the date.

What people say

On 02.11.2026 the bank published a notice about “gužvama” (crowds) at the ekspozitura and Yettel stores and about conditions for foreigners (probably a rush after Alta banka's license was revoked on 30.10.2026 — the link is not confirmed). Telegram channel “Serbia — News” (07.10.2026): fully online opening has launched — for residents with a Serbian ID card. No specific 2025–2026 reviews from foreigners about refusals or successes at Yettel Bank were found.

Caveats

  • Requirements the bank publishes beyond the law: a permit even for non-residents; an employment contract/document on the source of funds.
  • Under the bank's rules, a foreigner with only a beli karton will not get an account — a case for a prigovor/pritužba.
  • The prigovor web form requires 3 digits of the JMBG — foreigners without a JMBG should use e-mail/post.
  • Yettel stores are not bank premises in the strict sense; for provable filing, use the ekspozitura or registered mail.
  • The FAQ is partly outdated (it mentions the old Starter/Progresiv packages).
  • The bank does not publish its rules on the EBS/“identifikacioni broj u matičnoj državi” (home-country ID number) (Sl. glasnik 63/2026).

Documents: no residence permit, non-resident

Do they open accounts?: yes, only in person and after an individual review; according to the FAQ a non-resident also needs a permit (Jedinstvena dozvola / Dozvola za privremeni boravak i rad); from age 18

  • passport
  • Jedinstvena dozvola / Dozvola za privremeni boravak i rad

Asked for beyond the law:

  • employment contract or a document on the source of funds (notice of 02.11.2026)
  • under the bank's rules, no account will be opened with only a beli karton (no permit) — this contradicts čl. 73n ZPU
  • no separate PRSOU (basic payment account) tariff for non-residents; FAQ: dinar payments for non-residents go via SWIFT

Documents: resident with a residence permit

  • passport or lična karta za strance
  • Jedinstvena dozvola / Dozvola za privremeni boravak i rad
  • per the notice of 02.11.2026, also a “potvrda rezidentnosti” / privremeni boravak

Asked for beyond the law:

  • “ugovor o radu, odnosno dokument koji dokazuje poreklo sredstava” (employment contract or a document proving the source of funds) (notice of 02.11.2026) — beyond the law
  • KYC: purpose of the account, source of funds, expected turnover; FATCA (OUP, general terms)
  • documents in a foreign language — certified translation at the bank's request
  • one client — one multi-currency account

Online: no: fully online opening in the app is only for Serbian citizens with a Serbian ID card; foreigners apply in person at the Airport City ekspozitura (branch) or at Yettel stores with bank specialists

Branches

Document intake at head office (pisarnica): Not listed; the Airport City ekspozitura (Omladinskih brigada 88, Mon–Fri 9–17) accepts and hands out documents (“preuzeti ili predati određenu dokumentaciju”).
