All documents will be submitted online on the activation page of the PayMongo dashboard: https://dashboard.paymongo.com/activate. Please take note that you can only accept payments via PayMongo once you have been activated.

After you have successfully submitted your request for account activation, it typically takes 14 business days for our onboarding team to review your application.

Our onboarding team will send you an email once your account has been approved or if they have any follow-up questions, such as missing documents or clarifications about your business.
