Opening an account with a payment system

Many payment systems—also known as neobanks—offer attractive terms, such as no limits on the amount or number of transactions, the ability to open an account remotely, and the issuance of plastic cards.

The benefits of opening an account with a payment system

storing, exchanging and trading currencies in over 190 countries;
 
a wide range of neobank services available;
 
convenient and user-friendly online banking;
 
the option to make payments in USD, EUR and other currencies;
 
SWIFT, Target and SEPA instant payments;
 
favourable exchange rates for most major currencies.
 
 

If you have tried to open a business account with an overseas payment system yourself, you have most likely encountered a number of specific problems and restrictions:

  • illogical, and often completely unfeasible, requirements imposed by the neobank;
  • a long waiting period for the application to be processed;
  • requirements for the business to have a physical presence in the country of registration;
  • high set-up costs, which negate any potential benefits.

We partner with many neobanks and work exclusively with reputable financial institutions; we can help you open an account with a reliable payment system quickly.

Types of payment systems

The main criterion for classifying all payment systems is whether they are national or international. Systems in the first category operate only within a single country, whilst those in the second operate worldwide. Entrepreneurs conducting business in several countries at once are better off choosing international payment systems. Depending on who is involved in the financial transactions, it is customary to distinguish between banking (settlements are made between banks) and inter-company (settlements are made between companies) payment systems. Another type is electronic payment systems (EPS). Their functionality is based on e-wallets, and their main advantage is considered to be the simplified procedure for carrying out transactions. Despite this, EPS are still secure and guarantee the protection of users’ personal data.
