Banking in Lithuania

Guides for foreigners ยท Updated July 2026

Lithuania's banking market splits cleanly in two. Licensed fintechs โ€” Revolut, Paysera, Wise โ€” open online with a passport alone, before you have a residence permit. Traditional banks โ€” Swedbank, SEB, Luminor โ€” want the permit and an asmens kodas first, and are where mortgages, loans and local credit history live.

Most new arrivals start on the fintech side and add a bank later, if at all.
