Necessary Documents for opening a Service Account to accept Credit Card Payment

  • Updated

With enforePOS and the enforePayPad card payment terminal, you can securely accept credit card payments. In order to accept credit cards, you need to have a service account with our partner bank. To open the service account, we need certain documents, which depend on the business form of your company.

Our partner bank checks your documents purely electronically and on the basis of various documents, sometimes twice, to ensure the authenticity of the data. Depending on your company's business form, certain documents are required for opening the service account.

Business forms and associated data sets

Every company, regardless of the form of business, proves its existence. For the proof of existence we need the following documents:

  1. Lease agreement on the commercial property that the Company rents as its registered office.
  2. Alternative: Utility bill e.g. electricity or water supplier.

In this section you will find the business forms and documents to be submitted.
