Enabling Payments lets your organisation request and accept payments through Annature. The registration process collects important business, ownership and bank information we need to verify your organisation and safely route payouts to your account. Only an organisation Owner may complete the registration.
Registering for Payments allows you to charge customers and receive payouts into your nominated bank account. The verification process is required by our payment partners and by regulators — it helps prevent fraud and keeps your business compliant with financial rules. While the registration requires documents and personal information for verification, we store that information securely and only share it with our payment gateways as described below.
Only the organisation Owner can complete the Payments registration. If you are not the Owner you will not be able to start or submit the application; speak to the Owner in your organisation if Payments should be enabled.
Before you begin, it helps to have the following ready so the application goes smoothly: the organisation’s legal name and registered address; details and identity documents for each business owner or ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) (for example, passport or Australian drivers licence); and the BSB and account number for the payout account plus a clear, unedited bank statement or equivalent bank letter dated within the last three months. If no UBO owns 25% or more of the company, be prepared to provide the details of the person authorised to make company decisions.
The registration is a three-step form that collects the information described above:
Business details — Enter your organisation’s legal name, trading name (if applicable) and the registered address used for legal or regulatory purposes.
Business owners — Add each business owner / UBO: full name, date of birth, residential address and a form of government-issued photo ID (for example, passport or Australian drivers licence).
Bank details for payouts — Enter the BSB and account number for the payout account and upload the supporting document (a clear bank statement or a bank letter verifying the account). The statement must match the account details supplied and be dated within the last three months. If the account is new and no statement is available, upload a bank letter or account confirmation on bank letterhead.
After you submit the final step we forward the application to our payment partner(s) for verification. If additional documents are required, we will notify the Owner and guide you to upload them.
All information collected through the Payments registration form is securely stored and encrypted in Annature. We only share registration data with our third-party payment gateways (currently Pinch Payments and Stripe) when necessary to verify your organisation and to process payments. We do not use the data for other purposes and we enforce strict controls over who inside Annature and our partners can view it.
Once submitted, the application goes for verification. Processing times vary by partner and by how complete the application is. We will notify the Owner by email or via the dashboard about the application status and any next steps.
