What does SlimPay do?

It is a first step of verification - additional documents may be required.

What is KYC?

Why?

What documents
do I need to send?

“Know your Customer” 

To be able to collect money on your behalf, in any European country, SlimPay has to demonstrate that it has verified the real existence of the company and its performing legal business.

SlimPay requires documents that show the existence of the legal entity and the company’s owners. 

The documents need to be recent (less than 3 months) and legible.

It is a compulsory process for any financial institution.

In effect, SlimPay must ensure that you have an entrepreneurial profile which complies with rules against money laundering and financing terrorism. 

Once all documents are received, the KYC process can be passed within 4 working days.

This is a European and global obligation to prevent money laundering, terrorism funding and financial fraud.

This obligation is required irrespective of the amount collected.

 Please check all the documents you need to send to your account manager and to the Compliance Team (compliance@slimpay.com)

BEST PRACTICES
Information to keep in mind during your integration

Client

Mandates 

Payments/R-transactions

Each customer/debtor has a unique client reference. 

Refer to our lexicon for more information.

Each customer/debtor has one unique mandate reference. This mandate authorizes all transactions you wish to process.

You can update the bank account details (IBAN) associated with a mandate. 

It is better to use a unique payment/plan reference.

Like any payment method, SEPA Direct Debit may experience unsuccessful transactions. Different error codes correspond to specific reasons for rejection or refund.

For more information, you can refer to our SEPA Direct Debit Timeline.

⚠️

Please do not use real data (IBAN, phone number) during your tests. You can use our IBAN generator and the test data we provide during your integration. The email addresses used must be valid.

💡 INFORMATION

Once you have finished your integration tests, you can request a Go Live by filling in this form (Open an account). Your tests will be validated and you will be able to start your production integration.
