Tried to open an account with AirBank having successfully opened a Fio Bank account earlier the same day. Went through the whole process with my girlfriend translating everything for me (no English spoken in branch - that's fine of course, but just so you know). They took my UK passport and UK driving licence and the head office who received a scan of both documents called the branch to say that they thought my DL was a fake! Even with the girl in branch (who was holding it) confirming it had holograms etc, they just wouldn't accept it and told me to come back the next day to sign the contract. When we returned we were told the account was not being opened as they didn't accept it was a real document. I'm sure the bank is fine if you are Czech and have Czech ID but as an expat it's a no-go! read more
