  • Denial of service

Please note that the most common decision for new users is partial approval. This is entirely in line with the approval processes of most other payment platforms.

To verify your account as a supplier, please kindly follow these guidelines.

If you are a traveler

You do not need to verify your account as a traveler - you are all set!
