We will also require identity verification for the significant entities within the company, including:

We'll also ask for information to help us better understand your company's activities and pair you with a banking partner that suits your needs, including:

  • Industry
  • Presence in the incorporation country

  • The volume and number of transactions that we can expect for both incoming and outgoing payments
