A documents checklist for opening and verifying a Boldswitch Business account.
Last updated June 1, 2026
Here's everything you need to open and verify a Boldswitch Business account.
To open your account
- A phone number that can receive SMS (for your OTP).
- A few minutes to set a 6-digit PIN.
For Tier 1 (Starter)
Personal owner identity only:
- Your BVN (Bank Verification Number).
- Your NIN (National Identification Number).
This unlocks daily collections up to about ₦200,000 and a wallet balance up to about ₦500,000.
For Tier 2 (Business)
Your Tier 1 details plus your business documents:
| Document | What it is |
|---|---|
| CAC certificate | Certificate of incorporation |
| Incorporation certificate | Proof your business is registered |
| MEMO | Memorandum of Association |
| TIN | Tax Identification Number |
| Address proof | Utility bill or signed tenancy, under 3 months old |
You'll also complete owner KYC: email, BVN, NIN or ID, a selfie or liveness check, and your address.
Tip: Clear, legible scans approve fastest. Make sure names, numbers and dates are readable.
