Three points to resolve before applying

  1. Eligibility: one section refers to UK applicants; the FAQ says UK/EU companies. Obtain written confirmation for your entity and owners.
  2. Pricing: the product page advertises no monthly fee and mentions a setup fee. A complete numerical tariff was not available in the readable pricing page during our check. Request the current schedule.
  3. Onboarding: any advertised opening time depends on a complete file and approval. It is not a guaranteed deadline.
