Welcome to our knowledge base

To verify your corporate account, a Corporate Onboarding Package (found at the bottom of this page) must be downloaded, completed and submitted for review via secure upload here.  For requirement details, see below:

Proof of Incorporation

We require copies of your company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Articles of Incorporation as proof of incorporation. Please note that Certificates of Incorporation and Articles of Incorporation may be named differently depending on the province or territory in which your business was incorporated.  For example, in British Columbia, Articles of Incorporation are known as Notice of Articles. Please consult with your legal team or the federal or provincial registry if you are unable to determine which documents you received when registering your corporation.  In some cases, we may require additional information including, but not limited to, documentation regarding the change of a business name or address.

Proof of Directors & Beneficial Owners Attestation

This is found in the Corporate Onboarding Package.  To provide proof of Directors and Beneficial Ownership, you are required to complete an Attestation in the Corporate Onboarding Package.  You will be asked to provide a list of all Directors as well as a list of all natural persons who own or control >25% of the Corporation, directly or indirectly, along with their ownership percentages and addresses.

Proof of Identity

This is found in the Corporate Onboarding Package.  You are required to provide identification for the authorized signer/user creating the account if you have not already done so upon sign-up.  If the Authorized Signer/User is different from the user creating the account, please provide their name, address, date of birth, occupation, and email.  They will also need to complete a Persona verification link which will be emailed to them directly once you submit your complete Corporate Onboarding Package.
