Need help? Our most frequently asked questions can be found below.
What documents do I need to open a Neteller business account?
We only need the basic paperwork to verify your application. The Neteller business account requirements are simple and straightforward.
- You need to be registered as a business entity or a sole proprietor and provide the relevant certificate of incorporation or similar document.
- You have to provide a proof of address and an identification for each business owner.
- Your website should be at least in beta version at the time of your application so that we can review the services/goods you offer. If you would like to apply for more than one website, please inform your Sales Manager of their URLs.
How much does it cost to open a business account?
You can open a business account with Neteller for free. There is no set-up fee.
What account type should I open?
There are two types of Neteller accounts that you can benefit from:
- Wallet to Wallet - Allows you to use our gateway capabilities to receive payments. It also allows you to send payments to partners and customers as well. You will be able to use our full API based services.
- Expense Account (send payments only) - this account will allow you to send money to an email address.
How long does it take before I can start accepting payments?
We will get back to you soon after we receive your documents to confirm your registration or ask for additional paperwork.
Which currencies can I use?
You can select from almost 30 different currencies. You can set up the primary and additional currencies that you want to use at the time of your registration. If you want to add more later, you can quickly add them.
What are the costs associated with accepting payments?
Please feel free to apply for a merchant account so that we can prepare an offer matching your business needs and is the best fit for your business model.
Which industries does Neteller accept merchants from?
Opening a business account with Neteller is available for almost any business. We do have some restrictions, which you can review in our Terms of Use, Section 14. We are not able to provide services to merchants who want to work with tobacco, drugs, unlicensed gambling, and the like.
We carefully assess the business model of each applicant and can offer our services depending on the eligibility of the exact business activities.
Can I register a business account with Neteller if I do not have a registered business?
You can open a Neteller merchant account only if you have a registration as a business entity or as a sole proprietor. Business accounts are not available to private persons.
What are the most common reasons for rejection?
Legitimate businesses can typically obtain a Neteller merchant account with ease.
In the rare case of rejection, the common reasons why we cannot provide a Neteller business account include:
- Non-existent or fake details of the applicant
- Non-operational website
- Unsupported business model.
How often can I make a settlement?
You can make a settlement from your Neteller account to your corporate bank account at any time. There are no limits of the period or the frequency of the settlements.
Can I convert my personal account into a business one? Can I use the same email address/phone number, etc.?
The personal account cannot be converted into a business one. You can apply for a new business account here instead. Please use an email address and a mobile number that are not already used in other Neteller accounts. You can contact your Sales Manager to assist you in case you already use them.
Who can access my account?
Administrators can set up and manage the access of other account users via the Users tab in the left navigation sidebar of the merchant account. More information on user management can be found in the Neteller Merchant Account Administration Guide.
How can I secure my account by whitelisting IPs?
There are five tabs under Developer Settings. Navigate between Wallet IP Whitelisting and API IP Whitelisting in order to manage your IP settings for access to the wallet or the API.
How do I whitelist API IPs?
To whitelist an API IP address, navigate to the Developer Settings → API IP Whitelisting tab.
Click Add and specify the IP address or the range of IP addresses and click Save. To edit an already added IP address, click Edit.
Once the IP address is added, move the toggle on the right side of “Automated Payment Interface (API)” to the right to enable the API IP restriction.
Why can I not login?
A common reason is that you are trying to access your Neteller account from an unauthorized IP.
In such cases an Administrator (or a User with access to the tab Developer Settings) needs to access the account from an authorized IP, navigate to the Developer Settings → Wallet IP Whitelisting, specify the IP address or the range of IP addresses which you would like to whitelist and click Save.
To edit an already added IP address, click Edit. To add a new IP address, click Add.
Note: Only Public IPs can be whitelisted. If you use a dynamic IP or you would prefer not to have the IP login restriction functionality activated, a signed Indemnity Letter is required. The document is to be completed and hand-signed by a company director and a witness. It can be provided to you by the Neteller Merchant Services Team upon request.
My account is locked after 3 failed login attempts, what should I do?
Your account is locked after 3 failed login attempts due to security reasons. You should contact your account Administrator(s) who can re-enable your access.
