The requirements for enabling international payments for your account depends on the type of business you have on Paystack and the country your business is located. Here are the things we require to activate international payments for your business.

For Starter Businesses

If you are a Starter Business on Paystack, that is your business is unregistered; the requirements to enable international payments are the same as what we require to activate your business. You can find them below:

Country

Requirements
Ghana
  • A government-issued form of identification
  • Tax identification number
Nigeria
  • A government-issued form of identification
  • Bank Verification Number (BVN)

For Registered Businesses

If your business is a Registered Business, we will require additional information that you may not have provided when activating your business. Specifically, if you did not request for international payments at the point of activation. Here is what you need to provide:

Country

Requirements
Ghana
  • A government-issued form of identification of a company director
  • The Form 3 business registration document
Nigeria
  • A government-issued form of identification for any two company directors
  • The complete business registration pack

Important to Note

If your business is registered as a sole proprietorship, that is only one director, you can provide the ID for that single director and we would review your request.
