How to Open an nsave Business Account (Step-by-Step Guide)

Step-by-step guide to applying for an nsave Business Account to pay your team. Please note: nsave Business accounts are currently available for payroll use only. General business accounts are paused until 30 January 2027.

Before You Begin

Please have the following ready:

  • Business registration documents

  • Tax ID / VAT number

  • Shareholder and director details

  • Proof of business address (dated within the last 6 months)

  • Proof that you pay a team (for example, payroll records or employment contracts)


Step 1: Get Started

  1. Go to nsave.com

  2. Click Business in the navigation menu

  3. Click Open an account

This will open the registration window to begin your application.


Step 2: Initial Registration

In the registration window:

  1. Select the country of incorporation (where your company is legally registered).

  2. Select your industry (choose the primary one if multiple apply).

  3. Tell us your use case. We currently accept payroll applications only, and you will need to run payroll every month to keep your account active.

  4. Accept the Terms & Conditions.

  5. Click Continue.


Step 3: Pay the Application Fee

A one-time $200 application fee is due when you apply. It isn't refundable if you don't meet the terms.

  • We'll refund the $200 once your total payroll transfers through nsave pass $40,000 USD, counted across every payroll transfer since your account opened.

  • A payroll transfer is a payment from your nsave Business account to an individual, sent as a bulk payment: more than 10 transfers to individuals in the same calendar month. Payments to other businesses don't count.

  • We'll send the refund to your nsave Business account within 15 business days of you reaching the total.


Step 4: Receive Your Onboarding Link

After payment, you’ll receive an onboarding link via email.

⚠️ If you don’t see it:

  • Check your spam or junk folder

  • Allow up to 24 hours for it to arrive
