Necessary documents by legal form
All documents required by the Bank must be submitted as an original or notarized copy. If the document is in a language other than Slovak/English, an official translation of the document must also be submitted.
A document submitted to a bank by a natural person doing business on the basis of a trade license with permanent residence in the territory of the Slovak Republic is a document proving its business activity. It must be usable for legal purposes. One document of the following shall be sufficient:
- Trade licence certificate - a document issued at the beginning of a trade (for trades until June 2010, a document - trade license) was issued,
- Extract from the Trade Register from the non-public part (must not be older than 6 weeks),
- Copy of the declaration of trade with marked delivery to the trade licensing office.
We accept a document proving business issued in electronic form with an electronic signature in the format PAdES (.pdf), ASiC-E (.asice, .sce), ASiC-S (.asics, .scs), .zep or .xzep.
The documents are used to open one of the business accounts for self-employed persons or directly to open the Self employed accountTB.
TIP: You can now get a new Self employed accountTB for entrepreneurs and freelancers free of charge.

Why a self employed account is better than a personal account in business
- With a trade account, you have separate business money from private money. As a result, there is no increase in the price of bookkeeping and other complications in bookkeeping (for example, you avoid mistakes in distinguishing between personal and business income or expenses).
- When using a trade account, you are registered as an entrepreneur at the bank and you can report the fees for banking services in full in tax expenses (costs).
- With a trade account, you have the opportunity to obtain financing for business, even on the basis of account turnover (eg permitted overdraft, loan or car leasing).
- Receiving payments from payment terminals or connecting the account to the billing system is only possible with an account set up for business.
- According to the Act on Banks and the Tax Code, a bank is obliged to notify the tax office of the number of each established and canceled current account and deposit account of the entrepreneur. If you only use a personal account, the bank has no way of knowing that you also use it for business. The bank thus does not fulfill its legal obligation. If a bank is fined, it can recover it from you.
