Download the App
Fort Knox is currently only available only through our iOS mobile app. We’ve designed it to be fast, secure, and easy to use.
The Application Process
Your Information
We'll need some basic information to get started:
- Your full legal name
- Date of Birth
- Social Security Number
- A valid US ID, like a driver's license or passport
- An existing US Bank Account for transfers
We require this information to verify your identity, compliant with banking regulations, and to keep your account secure.
Anyone 18 years or older with a valid US ID and US Bank Account can apply – We will verify your identity as part of our onboarding process.
Fort Knox does not currently support joint accounts, but it's on our radar. We’re working on ways to safely support joint account access while maintaining our high-security standards.
Troubleshooting
I started an application but didn't finish. Can I continue where I left off?
Yes, new applications are valid for 15 days. For that time, we'll save your progress so you don't have to start over. After 15 days, your application will expire and you'll need to begin a new one.
Why was my application denied?
We take your security seriously, and to comply with banking regulations and prevent fraud, we must verify your identiy to make sure it's really you – not someone pretending to be you.
Applications can be denied for a few reasons, though most commonly because we couldn't verify your identity. Don't worry, we'll always let you know what happened and if there's anything you can do to try again.
What if I can't complete the selfie or ID scan?
No worries, it happens. Make sure you’re in a well-lit area and follow the prompts closely. If it still doesn’t work, we’ll give you options to try again or reach out to Customer Support for help.
