What do I need to open an account?

Updated over a week ago


👉 The basics (to start using Común):

  • A mobile phone number from your country where you can receive SMS or WhatsApp.

  • Your full name.

  • Your date of birth.

👉 If you want to send money abroad (remittances):

We will need to confirm that you are in the United States. This can be done in two ways:

  • With your phone’s geolocation.

  • Or with a proof of address.

👉 If you want to have your Común debit card and all its benefits:

  • We will also ask for a valid, current government ID from your country (we accept over 100 types of ID from different countries).

  • Check here for all accepted ID types.

  • (Optional) Your Social Security Number (SSN) or ITIN. It’s not mandatory—only if you have one.

📲 Download the Común app or go to www.comun.app/envia from your phone and complete your sign-up. It takes less than 5 minutes! 🚀
