Differences between a bank account and a payment system
- Payment system - a payment operator that receives a percentage and/or fixed amount from the customer on each incoming/outgoing payment
- A payment system can conduct funds through banks that, for certain reasons, cannot open an account for the customer. Thus, the customer's counterparties receive payment from the bank
- Most payment systems do not provide cash storage services, but there are exceptions
- Banks require a minimum balance / deposit to open an account. These funds are frozen by the bank with no possibility of use
- It is easier to open an account in the payment system than in a bank due to remote verification of the manager and owner of the company
IMPORTANT:
We do not recommend buying ready-made companies with an open bank/payment system account, as the costs of re-registration will be expectedly higher than opening a fresh account for the company. In addition, the bank reserves the right to close the account if the company's activities change
Minimum requirements
- 01Corporate documents of the company: certificate of incorporation, articles of association, minutes of appointment of director, registers of directors, shareholders, beneficiaries, share certificate
- 02Documents for company owners, legal entities and individuals: passport or ID, utility bill (not older than 3 months)

The bank or payment system reserves the right to request additional information / documents at any stage of account opening
- 02Sending data for approval and precompensation. The procedure will help to determine the possibility of opening an account in the selected payment instrumen
- 03Verification of a company director by a bank or payment system. When opening an account with a bank, verification can be carried out both remotely and in person
