Regulator
Banco de España (the Bank of Spain; specific prudential supervisory powers also involve the European Central Bank’s Single Supervisory Mechanism)

selection.json marks this candidate as a large Spanish bank selected using The Banker’s Tier 1 capital measure in 2026. This entry merely follows that selection lead and does not claim an individual rank, a real-time global top 100, account availability, or a licensing conclusion.

Banco de Sabadell, S.A. is a local Spanish banking legal entity. Banco de España’s directory dated 2026-10-08 lists it as a credit institution (code 0081). The bank’s official website expressly describes a Key Account for non-residents in Spain and an in-person application route, but the bank decides eligibility checks, risk review, and contract outcomes.

Bankinter, S.A.

Regulator
Bank of Spain (Banco de España); Bankinter’s website also states that it is supervised by the European Central Bank.
Reference sources
The candidate record identifies this as a selection of large Spanish banks in The Banker Top 1000 World Banks 2026 (Tier 1 capital basis), without providing or claiming an individual ranking. This candidate set is a lead for identifying institutions, not a current global top 100 list, and does not prove acceptance for a specific account or licensing status.

Bankinter, S.A. is a credit institution listed in the Spanish bank directory. Bankinter’s website page for non-residents presents euro accounts, foreign-currency accounts, and other products, but does not publish a complete set of non-resident eligibility requirements and application documents. The ordinary current account page expressly limits eligibility to Spanish residents, while the foreign-currency account page’s description of non-resident eligibility conflicts with its FAQ on the same page. Confirm with the bank whether the specific product and individual application can be accepted.

ING Bank N.V.

Regulator
European Central Bank (ECB, prudential supervision under the Single Supervisory Mechanism); De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB, prudential powers not transferred to the ECB, payment systems and financial crime supervision); Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM, conduct supervision)
Reference sources
selection.json lists this as a candidate mapped from a group asset ranking among publicly listed large-institution selections based on 2025/2026. The S&P Global 2026 ranking is primarily based on year-end 2025 assets and its disclosure methodology, but no individual ranking for ING Bank N.V. has been confirmed on that basis. This candidate set is not a real-time top 100, evidence of account application acceptance, or licensing fact.

ING Bank N.V. is a Dutch banking legal entity with a specific banking business record in the DNB register. Its retail pages publish a process for personal current accounts in the Netherlands, while its business account page requires applicant businesses to be registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce. Public information supports specific application routes for individuals and businesses, but does not establish that non-EU passport holders, foreign businesses or all non-residents can open accounts; the bank must review and confirm each case.

ABN AMRO Bank N.V.

Regulator
De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB; this profile uses its official institutional register to verify the entity and banking registration)
Reference sources
The candidate set retains a public selection of large institutions from 2025/2026; it is used to identify institutions for research, not to prove licensing or service availability, and does not represent a current global top 100 ranking.

The specific DNB register entry lists ABN AMRO Bank N.V. as a Dutch banking institution and specifies its banking activities. This profile concerns the Dutch legal entity, not the holding company or brand. Public information on personal accounts is expressly aimed at people who live or plan to live in the Netherlands and meet local address, tax and identity requirements. The business account page confirms only the categories of business products and the document process; it does not establish that non-resident individuals or foreign-controlled companies can generally open accounts.

Coöperatieve Rabobank U.A.(Rabobank)

Regulator
De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB, the Dutch central bank)
Reference sources
The project candidate set lists it as a selected large Dutch bank under The Banker Top 1000 World Banks 2026, Tier 1 by capital measure; no unverified ranking figure is repeated here, and this does not indicate a current global top 100, proof of licensing or account-opening eligibility.

The specific DNB register entry lists Coöperatieve Rabobank U.A. as a Dutch banking institution and describes the continuation of its authorisation following the merger of the central and local cooperative banks in 2016. Rabobank publishes products and application procedures for Dutch personal and business payment accounts, but the public materials are insufficient to confirm whether non-resident individuals or foreign companies without a Dutch Chamber of Commerce registration can apply to open an account.

KBC Bank NV

Regulator
National Bank of Belgium (NBB); under the euro area’s Single Supervisory Mechanism, the ECB directly supervises significant institutions, while the NBB participates in supervision within its remit
Reference sources
From the public selection background of major institutions for 2025/2026 described in the input candidate set, combining S&P total-assets screening with The Banker Tier 1 capital measure. The candidate set is for selection leads only, not a real-time global top 100 ranking, evidence of account opening or proof of licensing.

KBC Bank NV is a Belgian credit institution listed in the ECB supervised entities list and belongs to KBC Group NV, but this file verifies the bank legal entity itself. KBC's published information allows non-Belgian citizens and people who temporarily do not have a permanent address in Belgium to apply for a personal current account from abroad, subject to the bank's acceptance. The page also requires applicants to visit a branch after arriving in Belgium to collect a debit card; this is not a guarantee of account opening for non-residents worldwide.

Belfius Bank SA/NV(Belfius Banque)

Regulator
National Bank of Belgium / Banque nationale de Belgique (NBB)
Reference sources
Selected based on the input selection.json; the background is a selection of large Belgian banks in The Banker Top 1000 World Banks 2026 (Tier 1 capital basis). The candidate is only for institution screening; it is not a fact about licensing or account-opening acceptance. No individual ranking for Belfius or current global top 100 ranking is claimed on this basis.

The National Bank of Belgium’s current list of authorized credit institutions includes Belfius Banque, a Belgian public limited company bank entity, and provides its enterprise number and registered address in Brussels. Belfius’s public online account-opening information for individuals mainly describes the process for new individual customers; eligibility for non-residents and foreign companies remains subject to the bank’s rules, and no confirmable commitment to accept individual cases has been made.

UBS AG

Regulator
Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA)
Reference sources
From the public selection of major banking institutions for 2025/2026; selection.json maps the group name to UBS AG as a candidate licensed entity. It does not claim a separate ranking for UBS AG or represent a real-time global top 100 ranking. The candidate record is used only as a research lead for selection.

UBS AG is a Swiss-registered banking entity listed under its legal name in FINMA’s list of authorized banks, separate from the holding company UBS Group AG and UBS Switzerland AG. Public information confirms that both UBS AG and UBS Switzerland AG are licensed in Switzerland, but the standard Swiss personal and SME account-opening rules listed on the UBS website apply to the UBS Switzerland AG channel; they do not establish that UBS AG accepts applications from residents of any country or foreign companies.

Zürcher Kantonalbank (ZKB)

Regulator
Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA)
Reference sources
The project’s selection.json lists the institution among selected large Swiss banks in The Banker Top 1000 World Banks 2026 (Tier 1 by capital measure), without claiming an individual ranking. This selection is only a lead for choosing a project subject; it does not prove licensing, product eligibility or that any customer can open an account.

Zürcher Kantonalbank is an independent public-law institution established under the laws of the Canton of Zurich and Switzerland, and operates as a universal bank. Its website lists Swiss franc and foreign currency accounts for individuals, as well as Firmenkonto for businesses. The FINMA directory specifically lists the bank entity, but the public website does not confirm that all non-resident individuals or foreign companies can open accounts. It should therefore not be described as confirmed to accept overseas applications.

selection.json lists this entity among selected large Swiss banks using the Tier 1 capital measure in The Banker Top 1000 World Banks 2026. This is selection context for publicly listed large institutions in 2025/2026, and does not represent BCV’s individual rank, a real-time top 100, current account application acceptance, or a licensing conclusion.

Banque Cantonale Vaudoise is a Swiss cantonal bank headquartered in Lausanne and established by law as a public-law institution. Its published mission and service network are clearly focused on residents of the canton of Vaud and local businesses. BCV states that its standard business current account is for small and medium-sized enterprises and large companies, but eligibility of non-resident/overseas applicants, complete account-opening requirements, and the scope of remote processing for individuals or businesses must still be confirmed in writing by the bank.

One of the European large-institution candidates in selection.json for 2026; the candidate set is for selecting research subjects, not a real-time global top 100 ranking, licensing fact, or account application acceptance. This entry maps to the Swiss bank entity and does not substitute Julius Baer Group Ltd, the holding company.

Julius Bär & Co. AG is a Zurich, Switzerland banking entity listed in FINMA's bank register. Julius Baer's published wealth management service information indicates that clients typically entrust at least CHF 2,000,000 or the equivalent in investable assets, but this is a typical client profile, not a publicly stated account minimum or acceptance criterion. [1] [3] Public information does not establish complete account-opening eligibility, country coverage, remote account-opening methods, or document requirements for individuals or companies, or for Swiss residents or non-residents. No conclusion can therefore be drawn that any applicant will be accepted.
