Proof of legal activity for companies registered in France 🇫🇷

  • Updated

To complete your company account onboarding, we need to confirm your activity. This helps us ensure your activity is genuine and keeps your account safe and compliant.

Submitting the right proof allows us to onboard your company and set up your payment account faster.

You’ll receive an email with the details of what’s needed and how to upload your proofs.
