How to show where your company’s money comes from

Updated:

We need to know where the money paid into your company's account comes from. As a licensed financial institution, we're required to check this.

In many cases, your declaration in the application is enough. If we need documents, we'll ask in a task in the MY.ZEN.COM portal. Upload the documents that match the source you declared.


Which documents match your source of funds?

Revenue from your business

  • Bank statements from your business account showing payments from customers
  • Invoices issued to customers, with payment confirmations
  • Contracts with customers

Share capital

  • Registry entry or shareholder resolution on the capital contribution
  • Bank confirmation that the capital was paid in

Loan from a shareholder

  • Loan agreement signed by both parties
  • Confirmation of the transfer to your company's account

Bank loan or credit

  • Loan or credit agreement
  • Confirmation that the money was paid out

External investment

  • Investment or subscription agreement
  • Confirmation of the payment from the investor

Grant or subsidy

  • Grant decision or agreement
  • Confirmation that the money was paid out

Money from your group of companies

  • Agreement between the group companies, such as a loan, service, or cash-pooling agreement
  • Confirmation of the transfer
  • Group structure chart

Sale of assets

  • Sale agreement
  • Confirmation of the payment you received

What should every document show?

Make sure each document shows:

  • Who sent the money and who received it
  • The date
  • The amount
  • How the money moved through the account

We can't accept:

  • Screenshots that don't show the bank name and account holder
  • Documents without a date
  • Edited documents
  • A declaration on its own, when we've asked for documents

For general upload rules, see Which rules apply to every document you upload?
