The Artea app opens to everyone with five-minute sign-up
Today the Artea app opens to everyone. Download it, check your identity with a photo of your ID and a short video, and your account is ready, usually in about five minutes.
We started Artea in 2018 after waiting a week to open a bank account. Everything in the app starts from the same question: does this make money easier?
What you get on day one
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Virtual card | Ready to use online the moment your account opens |
| Instant transfers | Free and instant between Artea members |
| Spending insights | Every payment sorted by category, automatically |
| Card controls | Freeze or unfreeze your card in one tap |
How sign-up works
Download the app and enter your phone number.
Scan your ID with your phone’s camera. A passport or a driving licence both work.
Record a short video so we know it’s really you. It takes about ten seconds.
Start spending. Your virtual card is ready as soon as your account opens.
