This step creates your wallet account with Mangopay, our licensed payment partner.

You'll need to provide:

• Legal entity type (registered business or sole trader)

• Registered business name

• Company registration number (businesses only)

• Registered address

• Legal representative details: name, surname, nationality, country of residence, date of birth

• Accounting contact: email address and phone number

You'll also need to accept Mangopay's Terms and Conditions.

Important to know:

• This step must be completed by the company owner or legal representative. Accepting Mangopay's Terms and Conditions on someone else's behalf is not permitted.

• The information you provide is stored by Mangopay for regulatory compliance purposes. If you have questions about your data or wish to exercise your privacy rights, contact Mangopay's Data Protection Officer at dpo.mangopay@mangopay.com.

To get started, log in to your Ovoko account and go to Finance.

Once your wallet account is created, you need to authorize Ovoko to manage it through Mangopay. This allows Ovoko to collect earnings, apply fees, and process refunds on your behalf.

In your Finance page, you'll see a message asking you to complete authorization. Click Authorize now. You'll be redirected to a secure Mangopay page where you'll:

• Confirm your email address

• Set a 6-digit PIN (used for future wallet actions)

• Add your phone number

Look for "Powered by Mangopay" at the bottom of the page — this redirect is expected and secure.

Important to know: Until this step is complete, your earnings will be collected but funds will remain in your pending balance and cannot move to your available balance or be withdrawn.

The final step verifies your business and identity documents. This is required by European financial regulations to prevent money laundering and fraud. Mangopay, our licensed payment partner, carries out the verification on our behalf.

In your Finance page, you'll see a message asking you to confirm your identity. Click Start verification. You'll be redirected to Mangopay to complete the process.

What documents you'll need

You'll need to provide two types of documents:

Identity document — a government-issued photo ID for the legal representative. Accepted documents: passport, national ID card, driving license, or residence permit.

Your identity document must:

• Match the name entered during registration

• Include date of birth (exact match)

• Show a unique ID number

• Not be expired

• Be provided front and back if there is information on both sides

• Be a colour copy

Business document — a government-issued document proving your business is valid, such as a business registration certificate or articles of association.

Your business document must:

• Show the name of the issuing authority

• Include the registered business name

• Include the business license or registration number

• Not be expired

Document requirements for all uploads:

• High resolution, clear, and fully visible — not cropped or angled

• Scanned image or photo taken with a mobile camera

• Maximum 7MB per file, minimum 32KB for ID documents

• Accepted formats: PDF, JPEG, JPG, PNG

• Not altered or edited

If your document is not in English, French, German, Dutch, Spanish, Italian, or Portuguese, you'll need to provide an official translation into English or French.

For detailed document requirements based on your country and business type, see our Identity and document requirements article.

After submitting your documents, you'll see one of these statuses:

• In progress — Mangopay is reviewing your documents. No action needed. You'll be notified when it's done.

• Unsuccessful — Mangopay was unable to verify your details. Review the reason shown and try again.

• Confirmed — Your identity is confirmed. The withdrawal button in your Finance page will become active once your wallet goes live for your market.

Important to know: Withdrawals remain disabled until both this step is complete and a bank account is linked to your wallet. Bank accounts are added by the Ovoko team — contact your Account Manager to request this. Note that bank account updates are processed weekly, so allow a few days for changes to take effect.
