Before Activating Account
Check this list to confirm that you are eligible to apply for a Rapyd account.
Step 3: Activate Account
To process payments in production, you will need to complete Rapyd's Know Your Business process (KYB) and get an application approval.
European businesses can process payments up to a limited amount in production before KYB approval. However, payments will not be settled until your KYB is approved.
Start the KYB process by completing the KYB steps found in the Client Portal in order to fully activate your account.
Starting Your Application
If you are an account owner you can immediately start your application to begin filling out your Company Information, Primary Authorized User info and Shareholder Information. You are NOT required to select the checkboxes to Start your Application if they do not apply to your business.
