In addition to confirm your registered and operating address, we’ll need a few more bits of information about you and your business.
To open a Corporate account, we will need:
- Basic incorporation details such as: registered name, legal form, address of registration, trading name, registration date and incorporation number. The best way to confirm these details is simply to provide us with either the most up-to-date incorporation certificate or registry extract.
- Your name, address, a photo of your ID and a selfie so we can carry out a quick identity check. If your company is registered in either the UK or Switzerland, we accept either your driving licence, your passport or your National ID. If it's registered in any other country within the EEA, we can accept your passport or National ID. If you're not an EEA/ Switzerland born citizen, then to verify your identity, we'd require either a Residence Permit, a Visa type D or a passport issued within the EEA/ Switzerland as proof of your right to reside within those countries. Any of the listed documents have to have at least three months validity and we can't accept provisional documents. Please remember that if you are not a director or shareholder of the applying business we will also need a Power of Attorney confirming your right to set up and manage an account in the business’ name.
- A description of what your company does and where.
- Basic details about the shareholders/directors of your company. They’ll also need to carry out an identity check, or you can submit this on their behalf.
