Documentation Requirements

The documentation requirements for an Online Application (OLA) depend on the applicant’s vertical and various fields within the OLA. You can upload documentation to an application when the application status is either Incomplete or Documentation. The key fields that determine the documentation required are:

  1. Business Entity Type
  2. Business Start Date
  3. Have you processed credit cards before?

The table below provides, in general, how the OLA fields drive the requested documentation.
