Open a savings account

AccountAbility customers can open a savings account at one of our partner banks or credit unions, regardless of financial history.

Having a savings account will allow you to receive your refund in 4-5 business days by filing electronically and having the money directly deposited in your account.

Free savings accounts are available to customers with proper Minnesota state identification and a Social Security card or Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN) card.  

To open a savings account you will need the following documents:

Proof of Identification and Address (provide one of the following)

• Valid Minnesota driver’s license*

• Valid Minnesota state ID*
• Expired Minnesota driver’s license & valid renewal receipt (renewal receipt must have been issued in the past 30 days)
• Out-of-state ID & valid Minnesota resident application receipt with current address (receipt must have been issued in the past 30 days)
  
  *If your current address does not match the address on your Minnesota driver’s license or state ID, you will need to go to the DMV for a change of address form or you will need to provide proof of current address by providing a utility bill or a paystub that has your name and current address on it (cell phone bills will not be accepted).
