3 thoughts on “How Many Bank Accounts Can I Open at Tangerine? Why Would I Want Several Bank Accounts?

  1. I want to open a savings account at Tangerine. I am practising self-quarantine. Normally I understand I must go to post office to verify identity. Is there any way I can open account without leaving home? I can seNd personal cheque. OR
    My son has accounts there. Could I open a joint account with him without needing to leave house?
    Thanks,

    • I don’t work for Tangerine so I am not sure but I think you can open an account remotely by mailing in a cheque from an account in your name at another “big” bank such as BMO, TD, RBC, ScotiaBank, National, etc. You may want to try their “chat” button and ask them directly? This Canada Post id technique is meant mostly for people opening their first chequing account at ANY bank (e.g. a 17-year-old just starting work, etc.)

      • I just recently opened an account with Tangerine it was very easy, just put their app on your phone and do it from there. All you need to do is open the app, tap sign up and they ask to take a picture front and back of your photo id and then take a pic of yourself to verify then you answer a few questions choose your account and you’re all set. It took me maybe 10 mins to open my account and I had my card and pin number within a week.
