Complete your business verification on Wolt
We may ask you to review, confirm, or update your business information.
We’ll guide you through the steps in the Merchant Portal. Please complete them by the deadline shown in your email or account.
Why we ask for this information
Payments from your sales on Wolt are processed through a separate licensed e-money and payment institution. To operate under EU law, licensed payment institutions must follow anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing rules, including requirements based on European anti-money laundering legislation.
To meet these requirements, we need to verify and keep up-to-date information about the businesses using our payment services.
This means we may need to check:
Who owns, controls, and represents your business
Whether your business details match official records
Whether your payout account belongs to the right business
Whether we have the information needed to meet our legal obligations
These checks help us reduce fraud risk, protect the payment process, and make sure payouts go to the correct business account.
You may see this process called business verification, KYC, or KYB.
KYC means “Know Your Customer.” It helps us to identify and verify the official signatory of the business.
KYB means “Know Your Business.” It helps us to identify and verify the business, its ownership, and its representatives.

What we may ask you to provide
What we need from you depends on your business type, your country, and the information we already have on file. The Merchant Portal will guide you through each step and show you exactly what to provide — you won't be asked for anything beyond what's required.

Your deadline and the standard process
Your deadline is shown in the email you received from us or in the Merchant Portal.
Please complete your business verification before that deadline.
If the required information is not completed, we may need to take steps to limit your account.
The standard process is:
We reach out and ask you to complete business verification in the Merchant Portal.
If business verification is still incomplete, we'll need to pause your payouts.
If this remains unresolved, we may need to set your business as inactive on Wolt. This means customers will no longer be able to place orders from your business.
We’ll send reminders before these steps happen. Each message will explain what we need from you, what may happen next, and how to complete the steps.
The timeline above is our standard process. Some steps may vary depending on your market, account status, or whether a separate review is needed.

If your payouts are paused
If business verification is still incomplete after the required deadline, we may need to pause your payouts.
This usually happens at the payout pause step in the standard process.
If your payouts are paused, we can’t send payouts until the required information is completed and approved.
You can still complete business verification after payouts are paused.
To ask us to review your payout status:
Go to the Merchant Portal.
Complete the missing steps.
Upload any requested documents.
Submit everything for review.
Once we review and approve your submission, we’ll review whether your payouts can resume.
Support cannot promise an immediate payout release before the review is complete.

If your platform access is restricted
If business verification remains incomplete after repeated reminders, we may need to set your business as inactive on Wolt.
This means customers will no longer be able to place orders from your business. We may also start the offboarding process, including contract termination.
Your payouts will remain paused until the required information is completed and approved.
To ask us to review your account status, complete business verification in the Merchant Portal.

Why are you asking me for this now?
We’re required to keep business verification information accurate and up to date.
Even if you’ve worked with Wolt for years, we may still need to review or update your business, ownership, representative, or payout information.
Who may need to provide information?
We may need information about people who own, control, manage, or represent your business.
This can include:
Business owners
Ultimate beneficial owners
Authorized representatives
Contract signatories
Board members or directors
People acting on behalf of the business
An ultimate beneficial owner, or UBO, is a person who ultimately owns or controls the business. This is usually someone who owns 25% or more of the business, or someone who otherwise has control over it.
If no one owns 25% or more, we may need information about senior managing officials instead. For a full breakdown of what each person may need to provide, log in to the Merchant Portal.
Is this a legal requirement?
Yes. Payments from your sales on Wolt are processed through a separate licensed e-money and payment institution. To operate under EU law, licensed payment institutions must follow anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing rules, including requirements based on European anti-money laundering legislation.
How do I avoid delays?
Please upload clear, complete documents.
Before you submit, check that your documents are:
Valid and not expired
Clear and easy to read
In color, where required
Not cropped
Not edited
Not screenshots or photos of a screen
Showing all corners and edges
Showing the full name and address, where proof of address is needed
Showing the account holder name, IBAN or account number, and bank details, where bank verification is needed
Uploaded as JPEG, PNG, or PDF, where accepted
For two-sided ID documents, upload both sides.
Driver’s licenses are not generally accepted for remote identity verification.
Requirements can vary by country. Please check the Merchant Portal or your local document guidance for the documents accepted in your country.
What is business verification?
Business verification is the process we use to confirm information about your business and the people linked to it.
This can include your business registration details, ownership information, authorized representatives, ID documents, proof of address, and payout bank account details.
What are KYC and KYB?
KYC means “Know Your Customer.” It usually refers to verifying the identity of people.
KYB means “Know Your Business.” It refers to verifying a business, including its registration, ownership, and representatives.
For business accounts, we may need both.
Why do you need information about business owners?
We need to understand who owns or controls the business.
This is part of the checks we’re required to complete for regulated payment services. It also helps us reduce fraud risk and keep payout information accurate.
Who should complete the verification?
The person completing verification should be allowed to act on behalf of your business.
This could be a business owner, legal representative, authorized signatory, or another person with valid authority.
If the person is not listed in official company records, we may ask for a power of attorney or another document that shows they can act on behalf of the business.
What if the original contract signer no longer works for my business?
Please update the business representative details in the Merchant Portal.
We may ask for documents showing that the new person is allowed to act on behalf of the business.
What is accepted as proof of address?
Accepted documents may include utility bills, bank statements from regulated banks, official government documents, rental or lease agreements, residence documents, or national ID cards where the address is shown.
The document usually needs to show the person’s full name and residential address. It must also be recent, usually within the last 3 months, unless a local exception applies. Requirements can vary by country.
Why was my document rejected?
A document may be rejected if it is unclear, expired, cropped, edited, missing required information, or in the wrong format.
For example, we usually cannot accept screenshots, photos of screens, cropped bank statements, photos of bank cards, or documents that don’t show the required name, address, account, or issuer details.
Go back to the Merchant Portal to see what needs to be fixed.
What happens if I miss the deadline?
If business verification is not completed by your deadline, we may need to take steps to limit your account.
The standard process is:
Your payouts may be paused.
Your business may be set as inactive on Wolt.
We’ll contact you before these steps happen and explain how to complete business verification.
You can still complete the process after a restriction is applied. Once your submission is reviewed and approved, we’ll review whether your payouts and account status can be updated.
Can support extend my deadline?
Please contact your local Wolt Support team as soon as possible if you need help.
Support can guide you through the process, but they can’t override compliance deadlines unless a formal exception has been approved.
How do I restore paused payouts?
Complete the missing verification steps in the Merchant Portal.
Once we review and approve your submission, we’ll review whether your payouts can resume.
How is my information used?
We use your information to complete business verification, meet regulatory requirements, reduce fraud risk, and verify payout account details.
We handle your data securely and keep it only for as long as we are required to.
Who can I contact for help?
Contact your local Wolt Support team.
If you usually work with a Wolt account manager, you can also contact them for help with the process.
Before contacting support, please check the Merchant Portal. It will show which steps are still incomplete and what we need from you.
