Banking in Slovenia

Best banks in Slovenia for expats & digital nomads

Opening a bank account is one of the first things you do after moving to Slovenia. Here are the accounts that work for newcomers and non-residents, plus the fintech we would set up before you fly.

How to open a bank account in Slovenia

A passport or ID plus a Slovenian tax number (davcna stevilka) and address are generally needed; EU nationals face few hurdles. Euro is the local currency.

Our top pick

Wise multi-currency account

Wise is the option we recommend for almost anyone moving to Slovenia: hold and convert 40+ currencies, get local account details to be paid like a local, and send money at the real exchange rate with low, transparent fees. It works before you even arrive, so you can receive income and pay deposits while your local account is still being set up.
