  For now, Payrow is unable to open accounts for non-profit organisations, charities, funds, private foundations or trusts, the public sector, or cooperatives. 

  Sectors of activity

  Payrow is unable to support some sectors of activity due to regulatory, risk, and reputation restrictions. These sectors are dynamic and may change over time.

  Our onboarding team is expertly trained to identify restricted sectors of activity and will keep you closely informed throughout the application process. If you have any questions about sectors of activity before submitting an application, you can always use [email protected] or the live chat.

• What currencies are supported?

  You can send international transfers in GBP and EUR. We are working hard in the background to add more currencies very soon.

  If you transfer money to a bank account in a different currency (for example, if you transfer GBP to an account which holds SEK), a conversion fee might apply on the receiving bank side.

• Is Payrow safe?

  Payrow Payment Systems Limited (Payrow) is authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) (Firm reference number 903004) as an EMD Agent for PayrNet Limited (Principal Firm reference number 900594). The FCA register entry for Payrow can be found here. 

  The FCA authorisation is a sign of trust and meeting the required regulatory standards.

• Can I change my plan?

  It’s easy to upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time. Upgrades are effective immediately to help your business right away. Downgrades take effect at the end of your current billing cycle. Our support team can take care of anything else around plans and billing. You can find more information about Payrow here.

  Tell us about yourself and your partners.

  We'll need some personal details (such as full name, DOB, and address) to verify your identity and, if applicable, the identity of your partners (usually, these will be shareholders in your business).

  Tell us if you act on behalf of someone.

  If you’re not a director or shareholder of the company, you may need to provide your authorisation to act on behalf of the business.
