Information about e-residency and opening an account
Our goal is to provide our clients with solutions that meet their requirements while adhering to the demands of valid legislation.
According to the Estonian Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Prevention Act, upon opening an account in the credit institution or upon the first use of another service, credit institutions operating in Estonia are required to identify the person participating in the transaction or using the service while being present at the same place as the person or the person’s representative. Identifying a person without being present at the same place as the person is permitted only under exceptional circumstances and only for a limited range of services.
E-residency provides access to Estonian e-state services without requiring physical presence; it also simplifies contractual relations between persons. In light of the above, e-residency and digital ID currently do not enable opening a bank account at AS SEB Pank without going to a bank office. Digital ID does, however, enable you to use the bank’s services after opening an account.
In case you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact our Customer Support at +372 665 5100, call us via Skype (username seb.eesti) or send a message via Internet Bank menu „Contact“ →“Write to customer service“.
When calculating interest, an interest calculation base of A/360 is used and the interest is paid for the actual number of days.

Succession operations at the bank
Succession certificate
To enter into transactions with estate, the successors must present a succession certificate to the bank.
To obtain a succession certificate, the successors have to contact a notary.
Common disposition of successors or estate division contract
In general, in order to enter into succession transactions, all successors need to be present. If it is not possible for the successors to visit the bank together, please send the succession documents by e-mail at and we will try to find a suitable solution for you.
If the successors have concluded an estate division contract or any other contract at a notary, whereby the successors have divided the estate between themselves, please present this contract.
Minor successor and court’s consent
(The same principles apply to an adult successor with restricted active legal capacity)
If there are one or more minor successors among the successors, then the court’s consent is required for entering into succession transactions. To obtain the consent of the court, a representative of the minor successor shall have to contact the court.
The court will give its consent with a court ruling. Transactions with the estate can be executed after the court ruling has entered into force. For that purpose, we ask the representative of a minor successor to present the court ruling, to which the court has enclosed its note on entry into force.
If the minor is the only successor, then the court’s consent is required only if the representative wishes to sell the pension fund units or other securities inherited by the minor. In other cases, the court’s consent is not necessary.
Please send the succession documents first by e-mail at . Then, we will contact the successors within 3 working days at the latest and agree on a time for concluding the succession transactions. Please notify us of the branch where you would like to conclude the succession transactions or receive consultation.
