The procedure for onboarding a corporate client is similar to one for the private individual.

After the application is reviewed by our specialists, and the decision to open an account is made, we will ask for the general manager of the company to open up a personal account as described in the section above.

At least one physical person must be appointed to be representative of the company to access the Paylar account. The company can assign as many representatives as required, as long as they are onboarded as private Paylar clients.

• Private individuals – above 18 years of age and have a valid ID or passport, not listed in the international sanction lists.
• Freelance professionals.
• Corporate clients – companies from all over the world (with a few minor exceptions).

We are a licensed electronic money institution under the close supervision of the Bank of Lithuania. Following the strict client fund separation requirements, we are obliged to keep all of our client’s funds in a separate deposit account at the Bank of Lithuania, at the national banks of the other European Union member states or commercial banks of the EU – member states.

In order to open a business account, we may ask you to provide the following:

• Articles of Association
• Apostilled extract from the Government Register
• Company Structure (Including UBO’s; Group members and shares percentage)
• Source of Funds proof (Account Statements, Contracts)
• Notarized passports of UBO’s
• Utility Bill of Actual business address. (Apostilled)
• Transfer from EU Regulated Financial Institution (First Payment)
• Explanation for the need of banking services in Lithuania (EU)
• Explanation of business activities ( how the revenue is generated, is it a B2B or B2C business, what are the countries involved in the activities?, main partners)
• Contracts with partners
• SOF of the UBO’s ( shareholders)
• Licenses (if applicable)

We may also ask for additional documents if our onboarding specialists deem required.

We currently operate in Euros only within the SEPA area.

Transfers from a Paylar account to other banks are performed just like at banks. We can provide you with standard transfers in EUR to the EEA countries via SEPA and worldwide TARGET2 transfers using an IBAN account. Multiple currencies SWIFT payments will be available soon.

To perform a payment, you have to fill in the recipient data, indicate the account number and purpose of payment/reference. In order to transfer money from Paylar to other payment systems, you will have to indicate the client number in the system or other data depending on the payment system.

Paylar complies with the latest Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorist Financing directives. Our goal is to understand who we are dealing with and to follow the international regulations for the sake of security of our clients’ money.

Therefore, Know Your Customer (KYC) process is an integral part of client onboarding. To gain access to our services, every user must verify their identity.

Legally there are no limits, however all large transactions have to undergo an extensive due diligence process.

A UBO or Ultimate Beneficial Owner is the person or entity that is the ultimate beneficiary when an institution initiates a transaction. A UBO of a legal entity is a person who:

• Holds an interest of minimum 25% capital of the legal entity
• Has minimum 25% voting rights at the general meeting of shareholders
• Receives minimum 25% of said legal entity’s capital as beneficiary

A shell corporation is a corporation without active business operations or significant assets. These types of corporations are not all necessarily illegal, but they are sometimes used illegitimately, such as to disguise business ownership from law enforcement or the public.

We do not onboard companies where there is no connection between the company and UBO. Please get in touch with us directly to discuss your options.
