Onboarding tips & troubleshooting

When opening a Zavo account, we’re required to complete compliance and verification checks. If onboarding does not complete successfully, it’s usually due to missing or mismatched information.

Bank account verification taking too long or unsuccessful

Why this happens

The bank account name must exactly match the legal name on your Zavo account.

For example:

  • If your business name is Zavo Ltd, the bank statement must also show Zavo Ltd

We are unable to accept:

  • Third-party bank accounts

  • Personal bank accounts that do not match the business name


What to do

  • Make sure the bank account is registered under the same legal business name

  • Upload a valid bank statement or verify using Open Banking

  • Re-submit the information if prompted


ID verification not successful

Why this happens

If you are a non-resident of the country where your business is registered, we may not be able to open your account.

Some accounts may require additional checks, and in certain cases, we are unable to proceed.


What to expect

  • Additional verification may be requested

  • Some applications may not be eligible for approval


Company verification failed

Why this happens

Company verification can fail if the details provided do not match official public registers, such as government company registries.

Common issues include:

  • Business name does not match the registered legal name

  • Company number is incorrect

  • Business details do not match public records


What to do

  • Ensure the legal company name matches exactly what is listed on the official register

  • Double-check the company registration number

  • Re-enter all details carefully


Re-submitting verification information

If any part of your onboarding fails:

  1. Go to the Home page in the dashboard or mobile app

  2. Click the blue Verify button

  3. Correct and re-submit the required information
