From June 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024, a resolution of the
Board of the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus will be in
force, which establishes the possibility of remote identification
of non-residents when they open current settlement (bank) accounts
for settlements under foreign trade agreements with resident legal
entities.
Identification will be carried out in relation to the director,
chief accountant, other authorized person of a non-resident using
the web-ID procedure (establishing a video link on the
Internet).
During the procedure, representatives hold a passport (or other
identification document) in front of a webcam to confirm the
accuracy of the information previously submitted to the bank during
customer identification activities and to compare the face of the
client representative with the photo posted in the identity
document.
