Please Note:

You will need a US bank account and a continental US business address in order to apply for/use MerusPay.

• A valid form of ID is required. (U.S. Driver’s License, State ID, U.S. Passport, Military ID, etc.)
• Your business address cannot be a P.O. Box - it must be the physical location of your business.
• Sole Proprietors should enter their SSN in the Tax ID field.
• If you do not have a voided check - a bank letter or statement will suffice. This is required for each account, in order to verify ownership. A bank letter contains all of the following - an official bank letterhead, including the business name, full routing and account numbers, and is signed by a bank representative.
• During this process you may receive outreach from our Compliance team regarding details of your application.

What Happens Next?

You will receive a confirmation email once you have completed/submitted your application. At that point, it will be “under review” by our compliance team. If they have any additional questions, you will receive additional emails requesting updated information - if necessary. The review process takes between 7-10 business days (typically sooner) and once we approve your firm, you’ll be notified immediately. From that point, you’re on MerusPay!
