As soon as we have opened the account, we will send confirmation to the lessee and the lessor/agency respectively, including all necessary information for transferring the security deposit. It may take from 6 to 10 calendar days to receive confirmation of account opening.

Please note that the lessee is obliged to send evidence of the rental deposit payment to the lessor/agency.

Please note that in the event of a modification (death, lessee moves in or out) the old UBS Rental Surety Savings Account will be closed and opened for a new banking relationship.

2. Please wait for confirmation of opening, which we will send you within five working days.
