Why we request business documents
Short answer
We request business documents to meet regulatory requirements, protect your account, and ensure transfers are processed without delays.
Why document checks are required
As a regulated financial service, Oneremit is required to:
- Verify the identity of businesses using the platform
- Understand the nature of business activity and transaction flows
- Prevent fraud, misuse, and payment reversals
- Maintain access to banking and payout networks
These checks help keep transfers fast and reliable for all customers.
Documents we may request
For SMEs
- Business registration or incorporation document
- Proof of business address
- Director or owner identification
For corporates
- Certificate of incorporation
- Shareholding or beneficial ownership details
- Nature of business description
- Director or authorized signatory identification
Common reasons documents are rejected
- Blurry or unreadable files
- Mismatch between document details and account information
- Expired identification
- Incorrect document type uploaded
How to avoid delays
- Ensure all documents are clear and up to date
- Use the same business name across your profile and documents
- Respond promptly to document requests in your dashboard
Important
Submitting complete and accurate documents upfront helps prevent account limits and transfer delays later.
