Onboarding guide:Documents, review and quotePlatform access after approval

UpayAsia first understands the merchant’s business model, trading regions, and collection and payout needs, then confirms KYB／KYC, channels, limits, rates and API integration. Before review completes, merchants should not promise channels, rates, limits or processing times.

Getting started

Four steps separate feasibility, quoting and technical access — avoiding over-commitment before review.

Submit materials: company／individual details, business model, volumes, collection and payout needs.
Review and risk rating: complete KYB／KYC, industry assessment, payee type and transaction-purpose review.
Channels and quote: confirm available channels, currencies, limits, rates, FX and processing times.
Platform access: set up Dashboard, API, Webhook, reports and operating processes.

Lead qualification must-ask questions

Bring these together in the first consultation to support an early feasibility view.

Merchant type: B2B, B2C, platform, individual, or industry needing enhanced review?
Fund flows: mix of collection, fiat settlement, crypto bill payout, and fiat／local-channel bill payout?
Regions: merchant place of incorporation, customer regions, payee regions.
Amounts: monthly volume, largest single ticket, average ticket, payout frequency.
Suggested documents: company registration, directors and UBO, business website, transaction purpose, licence or operating evidence.

Suggested materials checklist

Large-value settlement and bill payout need different documents — prepare them separately.

Company registration documents, director and UBO details.
Business website and product／service description.
Primary customer regions and payee regions.
Expected monthly volume, largest single ticket, average ticket.
Payout purpose and payee type.
Contracts, invoice or source-of-funds evidence for large-value settlement.
Currency, region, purpose and limit details for fiat／local-channel bill payout.

FAQCommon questions

Understand first, then start.

On scope, settlement vs payout, and what to prepare before onboarding.

What is the first step in onboarding?

Submit company details, business model, location, primary customer regions, monthly volume and collection／payout needs.

Can rates be confirmed before review completes?

Before review completes, only preliminary discussion is possible; formal rates, limits, channels and timing follow review and partner-channel outcomes.

What company documents are needed?

Usually company registration documents, director and UBO details, business website, product or service description and key trading information.

At which stage does API integration start?

Usually after preliminary merchant materials pass and service scope and channel direction are confirmed, then API, Webhook or Dashboard configuration is arranged.

Can individual merchants apply?

Materials can be submitted for assessment first; whether access is possible depends on business model, transaction purpose, location and channel requirements.

Does document supplementation affect onboarding time?

Yes. More complete documents and clearer transaction purpose help finish review, quoting and technical access arrangements.
