Account Creation and Activation Guide

Select the account type that best meets your business needs.

For businesses in Greece, the following option is available:

Select how your business accepts payments (in person, online, or both), then indicate the number of employees and your estimated annual business turnover.
​

Review the recommended account plan based on your business needs, compare the available plans and their benefits, and select the one that suits you best.
​

Choose the card acceptance rates that best suit your business by committing to a specific monthly transaction volume. Alternatively, select “Skip – No commitment” to continue with standard rates without a monthly transaction volume commitment.
​

First, select the country or region from which your business receives most of its incoming transfers, as well as the country or region to which you send most of your outgoing transfers.

Select the incoming transfer plan that suits you: either Unlimited Incoming Transfers for a fixed monthly fee or Pay per Incoming Transfer with no monthly subscription.

Review your personalized offer, including the selected plan, services, fees, and any monthly transaction volume commitments. If you agree, select “Accept & Apply” to continue, or “Reject” if you do not wish to proceed.

Your offer remains available for 60 days, allowing you to return and continue the process later.
​

At this step, you will need to verify your business details through gov.gr. Select “Continue to gov.gr” and sign in to complete the verification. Once the process is complete, return to your application to proceed to the next step.

Review and complete the details of your business’s ultimate beneficial owners and persons with significant control (UBOs/PSCs).

Information such as control type, ownership percentage, and nationality is retrieved automatically from the official business registry, but you can update it if necessary.

Complete any missing information, such as date of birth and identification details, and add any beneficial owner or person with significant control who does not appear in the registry.

Select “Save Person” for each entry, then “Continue” to proceed to the next step.
​

Enter your business trading name (if different from its registered legal name) and confirm or update its operating address.

If you operate an online store, enter your website address (URL) and indicate whether products are shipped directly from suppliers or third-party warehouses located outside the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom.

Finally, select the suggested category that best describes your main business activity, or search for another category if needed.

Select “Continue” to proceed to the next step.

Additional Verification Checks

Depending on your business activity, you may need to provide additional information or supporting documents before card acceptance services can be activated.

Review the pre-filled declarations required for compliance with FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act) and CRS (Common Reporting Standard).

Confirm that the information about your business classification, sources of income, and US tax status is correct.

If any declaration does not apply to your business, select “Change My Answers” to update the relevant information.
​

Your application has been submitted successfully and is currently under review. No further action is required from you at this stage.

Once the review is complete, you will be notified by email and through your account activation screen.

Select “Back to Activation” to return to your account activation overview.
​

Once your application is approved, you can proceed with activating your Business Account and card acceptance services.

Select “Review & Sign” to review and electronically sign the relevant agreement and complete the activation process.
​

Select the authorized persons who will sign the agreement on behalf of your business.

You can select people retrieved from the official business registry or add another person by selecting “Add a Signatory”.

Make sure that all selected persons are legally authorized to represent and bind your business, then select “Continue” to proceed.
​

Review your selected services, applicable fees, any monthly transaction volume commitments, and the relevant agreements and terms and conditions.
