Our activations process explained

We aim to make the activation process as easy as possible.  Once you have signed up our in-house Activations Team is here to assist you if you have any queries at all at any stage of your application.

So what happens after you have clicked the sign-up button?

 

Step 1

After you complete the application, you will receive a confirmation email acknowledging your registration. Look out for three things in the email:

  • Terms & Conditions
  • Contract
  • Link to Activate Your Account

Step 2

You review the Terms & Conditions then print, sign and return the contract to us.

You click the link to Activate Your Account and provide the following details on the secure page:

  • Company Name
  • Bank Account Number
  • Sort Code
  • Internet Merchant ID Number

Step 3

We will process and assign a Terminal ID (TID) Number against your application which we then send to your acquiring bank. The TID allows our system to transact with your acquiring bank.

Step 4

Your bank send us confirmation that your details have been received and then adds our information to their system. This can take your bank up to 3 days.

Step 5

After checking that your signed contract has been received, your account is set live and you will receive an email notifying you that you are ready to trade online.
