1. Onboard a customer using Verify

Before you can open bank accounts, you will need to create legal persons to represent your customers in our system.

You are using Verify, our onboarding product that lets you submit your customer's information, and run automated ID&V, screening and anti-fraud checks on them all in one go.

Select the guide you need based on the type of customer you are onboarding.

• 🏢 Limited company
• 🧑 Individual
• 👩‍🔧 Sole trader

2. Open a client money account for the customer

You can now use the legal person URL you created in the last step to open a bank account for your customer.

💼 Open a client money account

You are using dedicated client money accounts, which means the account will hold money from a single customer, who is the beneficiary of that account.
