When a business opens a Meridian Account, Meridian collects the information below for Know Your Business (KYB) verification. All information is subject to independent verification, and Meridian may request additional documentation at any time.
This list can change. Onboarding collects KYB requirements dynamically, and Meridian may adjust or add to them as compliance requirements evolve. This page may not always reflect the exact current set — always treat the onboarding flow and the account opening form provided by Meridian as the authoritative source.

​
Business address

This structure applies to two separate requirement areas: registered_address (the entity’s legal/formation address) and operating_address (where the business actually operates).

​
Ownership

Ownership and control are captured through the associated_persons requirement area, which covers everyone connected to the business — control persons, directors, signers, admins, shareholders, and beneficial owners.

​
Associated persons

Every individual connected to the business is submitted as one entry in this collection, tagged with one or more roles — see Associated person roles below.
  • ADMIN
  • BENEFICIAL_OWNER
  • BUSINESS_ADMIN
  • BUSINESS_CONTROLLER
  • CONTROL_PERSON
  • DIRECTOR
  • REPRESENTATIVE
  • SHAREHOLDER
  • SIGNER
At least one associated person must include the SIGNER role. This is enforced as a collection-level rule, not on any individual field.

​
PHP bank account

For businesses settling in Philippine pesos, provide these bank account details via the php_bank_account requirement.

​
Declaration

An authorized signatory completes the application with a declaration and signature, certifying the accuracy of the information and agreeing to Meridian’s terms. These terms cover disclosure of business activities, permitted use of the account, regulatory standing, ongoing disclosure of material changes (within 30 days), and consent to verification and screening.
