How it works

Six steps to a live account

One flow verifies the company and everyone who controls it.

01

Company details

Legal name, registration number, country, trading name, sector, turnover and expected volume.

02

Ownership

Declare every beneficial owner (25%+) and director; declared ownership must total 100%.

03

Company documents

Upload the corporate pack — incorporation, articles, ownership and proof of address.

04

Verify the people

Each owner and director completes identity verification — by email invite or in one session.

05

Screening

Sanctions, PEP and adverse-media checks on the company and every individual.

06

Decision

Instant on a clean pass; a short review where a document or flag needs a closer look.

Documents

Your corporate pack

The lean end of a full corporate file — heavier evidence only where risk requires it.
