What do I need to open a checking account online?

To open a First Internet Bank checking account online, you’ll typically need a valid government‑issued photo ID (such as a driver’s license or passport), your Social Security number or ITIN, a current mailing address, and an opening deposit. At First Internet Bank, the minimum opening deposit is $25 for Free Checking and $100 for Interest Checking.

You can apply online in just minutes, with no branch visit, paperwork to mail, or extra steps after you apply. If you have questions, our U.S. based Relationship Bankers are happy to assist at [email protected] or 1-888-873-3424.
