Please note: The very first time you accept payments through your Ignition account, we will require 7 business days to perform checks to verify your business. This initial verification timeline applies whether your client pays via direct debit or credit card. 

You can still accept payments from clients at this stage, but disbursals to your bank account will be held until your business has passed verification. 

Ignition reserves the right to decline payment processing for any business - and will return any collections to your customer's account should your business fail verification.

Note: Please ensure that you enter all your verification details correctly when setting up payments in your account!

Ignition provides facilities for credit card or bank account payment collection across various regions. Read on below for the list of supported regions. You can view your region's associated transaction fees here.

To be approved for payment collections within a region, you must have a trading entity and bank account created in that region. All collections will be made in the currency of that region, and Ignition does not accommodate multi-currency collections.

Please note for the USA and and United Kingdom the first payment made by a client from a particular bank account will be subject to an additional confirmation process required by regulation in those regions:

We have a goal to reach equality in payments support across all of Ignition's major regions and are working hard with our third-party provider to accommodate more regions. 

As you can appreciate banking legislation is complex and it can take some time to navigate these systems and also be compliant with regulations, so we are often not able to provide a timeline for when we will be likely to accommodate your region.
