Documents necessary for the video meeting if the child is 7 to 17 years old
  • Child's passport or eID card, or foreigner's passport and residence permit.
  • Parent’s passport or child’s birth certificate (in case the parent has only an eID card or there’s no entry about the child in parent’s passport).

We offer the Smart-ID mobile app as the authorisation tool for confirming payments and various actions in the internet bank. The app can be set up remotely and without bank’s assistance by using the biometric identification method. A guide is available on the Smart-ID web page. If you do not wish to use Smart-ID, we will issue a code calculator as the authorisation tool.
