When your account is created, you will see a red banner stating "Payments Cannot Be Accepted Until Completing Application". By selecting "Complete Account" you will be brought to step 1 of the application. Creating a merchant account is very similar to creating any other financial business account. When creating this account, the D-BAT Hub is required to provide our underwriters identifying information to ensure that you are who you say you are, and that your business is in good standing. Without the information required throughout this application process, we will be unable to approve your account. To avoid delays in the account approval process, it is pertinent that all information is accurate.
Submit Paysafe Application

Please fill out the appropriate business information for your company. Below are some the required fields:

Step 2: Bank Account

Step 3: Ownership Information
Please enter your personal information. This step is to help verify your identity and prevent any fraudulent activity. You will also be required to enter in ownership information of your business. If you're a sole proprietor, you will enter that you're 100% owner. If you have multiple owners, you will need to provide the ownership percentages for each owner greater than 25%. This is important information needed to ensure that the proper owners are listed on the merchant processing account.
