How to open a Zolve Account?

Step 1: Download the Zolve App & Create an Account

First things first, you need to download the Zolve app from the App Store or Play Store. Then, hit “Create Account” on the home screen since it’s your first time.

Step 2: Enter your Email id & Phone Number

For verification purposes, start off the onboarding process by punching in your email id & phone number. We verify this information by sending you a secure code on your email and phone number. Once both are verified, you’ll be taken to the next step.

Step 3: Basic Information Details

Like all banks, we have a Know Your Customer (KYC) check verifying your identity and ensuring platform safety. Don’t worry; it is just basic details like where you are from (nationality), full name, date of birth, and your travel plans.

Step 4: Document Submission & Verification

Once you’re done, we’ll have to check whether the information you’ve provided is accurate or not. For that, we’ll require just a couple of documents.

To confirm your identity, we’ll need your SSN details. If SSN details don’t apply to you, then upload your passport. That will do the job.

Then, for address verification purposes, we’ll need the details of your U.S. address. If you don’t have a permanent address just yet, you can upload the temporary details as well.

Lastly, you’ll have to upload your US Visa details. You can just click a picture of your approved F1, H1B or H4 Visa and upload it on the app. This is done so that we have an idea of your travel itinerary.
