The documents we ask for have different names in each country. Use this guide to match our requirements to the documents issued where your company is registered. For the full requirement list see How onboarding works & what you'll need, and for licensing by country see Eligibility.

International companies provide the standard onboarding documents, a DDJJ, and source-of-funds documentation if high risk (for Argentine companies, source of funds is typically your financial statements).
Industry licensing (crypto/VASP, microlending, gambling) is covered in Before you start: countries & industries we support.
About CVUs. A CVU is a local peso payment account, opened only for a holder of an Argentine tax ID (CUIT). Without a local tax ID, the account is opened under VelaFi's name.
Opening CVUs for your users or merchants. Each CVU holder has a regulated payment account, so each merchant is certified by VelaFi before activation (your account manager shares the standards), and your product presents VelaFi's terms of use with a clear step where the user authorizes opening their CVU. For each relationship, also provide (1) proof of your relationship with the customer, and (2) the customer's CVU-opening authorization plus a signed commitment letter on restricted jurisdictions.
