Can a foreign investor open an account remotely, without traveling to Morocco?

Most Moroccan banks require at least one in-person meeting to complete identity verification for a new account, though some steps (document collection, initial screening) can often be handled remotely with a local relationship manager or through WE ARE TOGETHER's introduction process. Confirm the exact process for the specific account type directly with the bank.

Does this bank handle the foreign investment declaration required for repatriation rights?

Yes — any bank acting as an intermediary for inbound investment capital in Morocco is required to file the foreign investment declaration under the Office des Changes regime. This is standard practice across all licensed Moroccan banks, not a differentiator between them.
