We verify the company, and the people who control it, before you can use Calen for Business fully. It feels a bit like opening a business account anywhere else. Here's what to expect on screen.
Here's how
Sign in to the business dashboard and open the verification steps.
Enter your company information: name, registration details, address, and similar.
Upload documents and photo ID for directors and beneficial owners. We'll show you exactly what's needed.
The people behind the business complete a short liveness check, so we know it's them. We also confirm that the person opening the account is allowed to act for the company.
If you want a Nigerian naira account, we'll ask for a BVN from the director or signatory who's completing the check.
Submit, then wait. Verification often takes from a few minutes to a couple of business days.
Good to know: If something isn't approved, we'll ask you to update only the information that needs correcting. We may do that in the dashboard, by email, or with a notification.
You can often sign in while this is under review. Sending and receiving money usually waits until the business is approved.
Quick tip: Take document photos in good light, and use names that match the company registration.
