2. Gather Required Documents:

  • Identification: Your passport or national identification card.
  • Proof of address: A recent utility bill or rental agreement with your Medellín address.

  • Bring required documents: Make sure you have all the necessary documents ready.

4. Complete the Application Process:

  • Provide identification: Present your identification documents for verification.

6. Activate Your Account:

  • Deposit funds: Make an initial deposit to activate your account.
  • Receive your debit card: You’ll typically receive a debit card that you can use for withdrawals and purchases.

7. Set Up Online Banking:
