Signup for Businesses

We are required to collect and verify specific information for all business entities opening a Pro account to meet regulatory requirements. There are two main steps in the verification process:

1

Choose the account username, password and verify the primary user's email.

2

Answer a questionnaire to confirm the business' eligibility for the product, upload business documents to complete Know Your Business (KYB) requirements, and have all required individuals complete Know Your Customer (KYC) identity verification.

Step 1: Account Creation

  1. Go to the Rails website to create your account.

  2. Click Get Started.

  1. Select Business as your Account Type, fill in the credentials and click Next.

  1. Check your email for a verification link.

Ownership and Control Structure

Here you will identify the beneficial owners and controllers required to complete KYC verification.

  1. Review the requirements to determine which owners and controllers must complete KYC for your business's entity type (i.e. corporation, partnership, etc.).

Different entity types will have slightly different language than what's shown below.

  1. Please check the Submit boxes to confirm that all information provided is accurate, and that you discovered Rails independently or through a referral, then click Continue.

This is required to ensure Rails abides by all laws in all jurisdictions.

  1. Click Add individual in each section to identify all required individuals for your business.

  1. Enter the individual details of each individual and click Create beneficiary.

  1. Once all required individuals have been identified, click Submit.

  1. Click the drop down icon and select the document you'd like to upload.

  2. Click the box containing the upload icon and select a document from your device.

  3. Click Continue and repeat for all required documents.

  4. Once you have a green checkmark next to all required sections, click Continue.

Identity Verification

The final step is to have all individuals identified in above in step 19.

  1. If multiple people are identified, send the verification link to each associated individual by clicking Send to email, which will email them automatically, or Copy link to send it to them personally.

The email will resemble what's shown below. Clicking Verify me will begin the verification process.

  1. Click Verify now to begin your own verification.

  2. Once the verification page is open, click Continue.

  1. Select the appropriate option based on your country of residence and click Continue.

To complete verification, you must accept Sumsub’s privacy terms, which ensure legal compliance and secure processing of your identity data.

  1. Follow the Identity Verification steps outlined here.

  2. A member of the Rails team will notify you of the status of your application within 1 business day of all individuals completing KYC verification.
