Frequently Asked Questions
As an FCA-authorised payment institution, we're required to perform KYC (Know Your Customer) checks on all corporate clients. These checks are in place to ensure compliance with anti-money laundering regulations and to protect the integrity of your transactions. The documentation we ask for is standard across the industry.
We do try to retrieve publicly available documents where possible to make things easier. However, for faster onboarding and compliance verification, we recommend that you send key documents proactively. This helps reduce delays and ensures a smoother setup.
Most applications are initially reviewed within 24 hours. If all required documents are provided and there are no complex structures or additional checks, accounts can often be activated within 1–3 working days following receipt of all documents.
Utility Bill, Bank Statement, Council Tax Bill, or Government-Issued Letter (Must be dated within the last 3 months)
