You can make payments to local and international suppliers and employees, as well as freelancers. You can also pay tax authorities/agents as well as yourself when you’re ready to repatriate funds. What’s more, you’ll be able to exchange funds between currency accounts.

Please be aware that there are some payments that we’re not able to accept for regulatory reasons. For more information on these restrictions, please see the Account Terms of Use within our Terms and Conditions.

You can receive payments from a variety of sources, including:

• Online marketplaces
• Payment gateways
• Third-party businesses
• Individuals for business purposes, VAT returns or your own company or personal bank account

As a sole-trader (non-registered business), you can receive payments from approved marketplaces, tax authorities, and your own personal bank account.

If you operate any other business type, you can receive incoming payments from approved marketplaces, tax authorities, your own personal bank account and other approved third-party sources that accept and receive payments on behalf of your business.

From time to time, we might request additional information before we can apply a payment to your account. Supporting documents can be in relation to inbound credit, such as invoices or contracts. This is to help protect your account from fraud.

Please contact us if you have any concerns or questions about other types of payments you’d like to receive, or if you need to receive funds from anywhere else.
