# 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.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Sign up">
    Head to [glide.co](https://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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify your identity">
    We need a few details to comply with KYC/AML rules in the five jurisdictions Glide is regulated in.

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

    See [KYC and AML](/security/kyc-aml) for what gets checked and how long it's stored.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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](/money/deposits).
  </Step>

  <Step title="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](/cards/overview).
  </Step>

  <Step title="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](/money/send).
  </Step>
</Steps>
