Getting Started

It’s really easy! Download Damex on the App Store or Google Play Store, then sign-up in just a few minutes.

To open a Damex account you need to be at least 18 years old and a UK resident. You also need an iOS or Android phone along with a valid means of ID. We accept your:

– Passport
– Full driving licence
– Residency permit
– National identity card

Yes, you currently need to be a UK resident to open a Damex account. We will soon launch in other countries as well!

Your credit history won’t stop you from opening a Damex account. We believe in creating an account that is truly built for everyone.

We accept different types of photo IDs including:

– Passport
– Full driving licence
– Residency permit
– National Identity card

You will need one of these to open a Damex account.

There can be several reasons why we’d need additional documents, here are some examples: 

KYC – Know Your Customer
We need to confirm that you are who you say you are.In the banking world, this is called Know Your Customer (or KYC for short). Normally this will happen automatically as part of the account opening process, but at times this might not be possible and we’ll need to review manually. The most common reasons for this are if you’ve recently changed your address or are not on the electoral roll, but there can be other factors. 

AML – Anti Money Laundering
We need to make sure that there is no money laundering on Damex. If you reach a certain threshold when depositing, or exchanging funds, we may need to ask for additional information. 

Change in Circumstance
Any changes to your circumstances such as changing your name or address can mean that we’d need additional documentation to confirm this.

Quality Assurance
At times we randomly choose accounts to undergo further verification. We do this to ensure our checks are working and to protect our clients.Please don’t be worried about this, it’s standard practice and one which all responsible financial firms carry out.

You can use your Damex Card everywhere, as long as you have sufficient balance, there will be no problem. Please note that there are fees imposed on ATM withdrawals above a certain amount per month.
