Can I open an account if I live overseas?

Yes.  Previously, the issue has been the inability for non-Australian residents to open a bank account for settlement purposes.  Marketech, with the assistance of Openmarkets and OFX, have been able to overcome this issue.  Please refer to our Knowledge Base article here for more information.

Please contact us at support@marketech.com.au for further information, to express your interest or to enquire about which jurisdictions will be available.
