Open your account in 10 minutes

Sign up, verify your identity, fund your account, and get a card. Most people are done in under ten minutes.

You can open a Glide account from any country. There are no minimum deposits and no monthly fees. The whole flow runs in one screen on web or mobile.

1. Sign up

   Head to glide.co and tap Open Your Account. Sign in with email or a passkey. Choose Personal if it’s for you, or Business if you’re opening for a company.

2. Verify your identity

   We need a few details to comply with KYC/AML rules in the five jurisdictions Glide is regulated in.

   Have a passport or government-issued ID handy plus a phone with a working camera. The doc check + selfie takes about three minutes.

   See KYC and AML for what gets checked and how long it’s stored.

3. Fund your account

   Two paths, both work from day one:

   • Stablecoin deposit — copy your USDC or USDT deposit address, send from any wallet, settled in seconds. No KYC step required for crypto deposits.
   • Bank wire — once KYC clears, you’ll get account details in CAD, USD, GBP, EUR, SGD, HKD, AUD, and more. Wire from your existing bank.

   Both paths are documented in Deposits.

4. Get a card

   Order a virtual Visa card instantly. Add it to Apple Pay or Google Pay. Tap to pay anywhere Visa is accepted, in any of 80+ currencies.

   A physical card ships in 5–10 business days. See Cards.

5. Start moving money

   Send to 180 countries via wire, ACH, SEPA, Faster Payments, SWIFT, or stablecoin transfer. Pricing is published up front; you see the fee before you confirm.

   See Send money.
