You must be at least 18 years old and currently reside in the United States or a U.S. territory.

Common Questions

Questions about opening an account.

How long does account approval take?

Most accounts are verified and approved within minutes through automated identity checks. If additional verification documents are requested by our clearing partner, review typically takes one business day.

Is there an account minimum?

There is a $0 minimum to open an account. When you choose to begin funding, recurring automatic deposits can start from as little as $25.

Why doesn't Setright use passwords?

Passwords are the leading cause of account breaches. Setright uses modern FIDO2 passkeys, which leverage your device's secure biometric hardware (Touch ID, Face ID, or Windows Hello). Passkeys cannot be phished or guessed.

What if I already have an account?

If you already created an account, you don't need to open a second one. Please visit our Sign In page to log in with your biometric passkey.
