How to use Cashflows Fast Onboarding

When you sign into Cashflows Fast Onboarding, you can:

    • Working on – you’ll see a list of open applications that are currently assigned to you.

    • Other Activities in your Worklist – you’ll see a list of unassigned or unlocked applications that you can work on.

    • Waiting Activities – you’ll see a list of applications that you’ve worked on, that are awaiting action from someone else. For example, when you’ve submitted an application and the merchant is yet to sign the contract.

Getting started with Fast Onboarding

This section explains how to start using Cashflows Fast Onboarding.

What you need

To use Cashflows Fast Onboarding you need:

  • An internet connection.

  • A browser (we recommend Google Chrome).

  • A Cashflows Fast Onboarding account with partner access permissions.

    Note

    When you become a partner with us, we create accounts for your users.

What you need to do

To start using Cashflows Fast Onboarding:

  1. Sign in to Cashflows Fast Onboarding with your partner account details. For more information, see How to sign in.

  2. Set your password.


Preparing your application

We know how important it is to get new merchants trading as soon as possible. The Fast Onboarding portal will help to speed up the process, but the better you’re prepared for each application, the higher the chance of an automatic approval.

The Merchant Category Code (MCC) and the amount of merchant information you have are both essential for successful applications.

Choosing better Merchant Category Codes

Businesses which have a mainstream Merchant Category Code (MCC) are much more likely to be approved automatically by our system. This is because there are usually fewer checks required.

Higher risk MCC merchants might require additional information or further checks, which can slow the process down.

You can find our Sector Appetite Guide in your Partner Toolkit, something which we emailed you. If you don’t have this, please contact support who can send this to you again.

Note

You can email them using support@cashflows.com or by calling 0330 128 9855, Option 1. They are on hand to help, each business day, Monday – Friday, 09:00 - 17:00.

How to apply for an account

Starting an application

Mandatory fields are highlighted in yellow. At any point, you can upload merchant documents by selecting the upload icon in the top right of the page.

Your application is saved as you move between pages, and you can save your work at any time by selecting the save icon in the top right of the page.

On all pages, there is the option to Cancel. If you select Cancel, this will close your application and return you to the Home page. All applications that are cancelled can’t be recovered and must be started again.

Note

Phone numbers need to be entered following the international calling codes standard. E.g., for UK phone numbers, they should start with “+44” and be between 10-15 digits.

Tip

You can save an application, close the application, or close your browser, and come back to complete it another time. For more information, see Resuming a saved application.

To start a new application:

  1. Select Start New Application.

  2. Select Start on the Cashflows process.

  3. Select Start.

Find or add company information and accounts Cashflows Fast Onboarding is linked to the Companies House database. If a business is registered, it’s quick and easy to find the details and fill them in automatically. This saves you having to spend time entering details manually.

If the business is a sole trader:

  1. Type the sole trader’s name into the Company Name field.

  2. Select Add.

  3. Enter the rest of the mandatory fields.

Otherwise:

  1. In the Company Name field, start typing the name of the merchant. When you’ve entered three characters, a list of merchants is displayed. The list changes as you continue to type.

    Tip

    If you paste a value into the Company Name field, the dynamic search won’t be run, and we won’t be able to fill in the details for you.

    To select a merchant from the dynamic search, you must select the merchant name with your mouse rather than using the Enter key on your keyboard.

  2. When you’ve found the merchant in the list, selecting them completes the following fields automatically:
    • Company Name

    • Company Status

    • Company Registration Number (if appliable)

    • Address Line 1

    • Address Line 2 (if appliable)

    • City

    • Post Code

    • Country

  3. Once the fields are automatically filled, you need to select the Company Type.

  4. Before moving to the Company Contact Information section, select the merchant category code and description from the list.

    Tip

    The list is searchable, and the possible combinations will be narrowed down as you start typing. For more information on our MCC codes and descriptions, see our Sector Appetite Guide in your Partner Toolkit.

  5. Enter the primary contact of the merchant for this application.

    Note

    This information is used for sending the quotation email (if applicable) and for requesting documents from the merchant (if applicable).

  6. Select the merchant’s:
    1. Gateway Provider (if applicable)

      Note

      If the merchant is going to use the Cashflows Gateway, you must ensure that you select and enter the Gateway pricing in the next screen. If they are not using the Cashflows Gateway, then you do not need to enter any gateway pricing on the next screen.

    2. Shopping Cart Provider (if applicable)

  7. State whether they would like Cashflows to provide their card machines. If they’d like to use Cashflows card machines, you need to complete the separate Terminal Order form once the application has been approved.

  8. When you’re satisfied that all of the required details have been filled in, select Next.

Setting the merchants pricing

Important

Please ensure the price to the merchant is higher than your agreed buy rate for the respective fee type or product. We will not validate the price you define against your pricing plan. If you do not know the rates set in your pricing plan, we recommend you sign in to your Cashflows Portal account to view it or contact your relationship manager.

On this screen, you’ll be required to capture the pricing you’ve agreed with the merchant for the Cashflows products.

There are several mandatory pricing groups that need to be selected and values defined:

  • Merchant Service Charge – Blended or Interchange++.

  • Transaction and dispute fees.

  • Remittance fees.

To get started:

  1. Select a pricing plan from the list. You can either choose one of the default Cashflows plans or your own if you’ve created any.

  2. Select Load Pricing Plan.

  3. Set your pricing by entering a value in the corresponding cell of the pricing levers.

    Important

    A maximum of two decimal places is supported. You must not include commas in your pricing values as they are not supported.

    Pricing values will only be accepted if a value is entered. If a pricing field is left empty, this will be treated as not selected. For more information on creating your own pricing plans, contact your relationship manager.

    Note

    By default, we will not send a quotation email to the merchant’s application contact you defined on the Company Information and Accounts screen previously. However, if you would like us to, you can select Send quotation email to merchant at the top of the screen and we will send them a copy of the products and pricing you’ve defined on this screen once you’ve selected Next. Doing this will not delay your ability to proceed with the application submission.

When you’re satisfied that all the required details have been filled in, select Next.

Validating the merchant’s bank details

The merchant information populated on the Company Information & Accounts screen will be automatically pre-filled on this screen.

Note

We support automated bank validation for banks that are part of the Commercial Credit Data Sharing (CCDS) scheme, which currently includes all major banks: Danske Bank, Allied Irish Bank, Bank of Ireland, Barclays, Clydesdale, Yorkshire Bank, HSBC, Lloyds, Bank of Scotland, Agricultural Mortgage Corporation, RBS, Lombard, NatWest Bank, Ulster Bank & Santander. If your merchant uses a bank that is not part of the CCDS scheme, you’ll need to upload a recent bank statement (within the last three months) to help our underwriting team validate the merchant’s bank account. The format of the bank statement must be PDF for our underwriting team to accept it. For more information on how to upload this document, see How to upload documents.

To validate the merchant’s bank details:

  1. Enter the merchant’s:
    • Account Holder name.

    • Sort Code.

    • Account number.

  2. Select Search. When you select Search, we validate the information you’ve provided with our third-party provider.

    Note

    If the bank account has been successfully matched, a green tick will be displayed on the page. If we can’t validate the bank account information provided, a red cross will be displayed on the screen, and you’ll need to provide documentation to help our underwriting team validate the merchant’s bank account.

  3. After the bank search is complete, four additional fields are displayed on the page under the Company Information. We will have pre-filled them from our third-party providers data if the company has been found in their records. These fields are:
    • Country of incorporation.

    • Date of incorporation.

    • VAT registered.

    • VAT number (visible if VAT registered is selected).

    Note

    If the merchant isn’t found in our third-party providers data, you can enter the country of incorporation, date of incorporation, VAT registered and VAT number fields manually.

  4. When you’re satisfied that all the required details have been filled in, select Next.

Adding merchant stakeholders

If we can find the merchant via our third-party provider, several stakeholder record fields will be prefilled for you.

If a merchant’s stakeholder is identified as being both a shareholder and a company director, you’ll see them represented as two individual records. In this scenario, you should merge the two records together by selecting Company Director on the shareholder record and then remove the duplicate.

Only stakeholders with a 10% or more shareholder ownership will be automatically pre-filled from our third-party data providers records.

Each stakeholder record has an optional authorised Signatory tick box, this tick box is for you to mark which stakeholders are required to sign the merchant contract within their company. For this reason, you must select a minimum of one stakeholder as an authorised Signatory. For more information, see How merchants sign the contract.

At least one of the stakeholders must be marked as a Company Director.

If you are unable to provide us with stakeholder information that doesn’t reach a minimum of 80% of the merchant’s ownership structure, we may require further documents from you to assess the ownership structure.

To enter the stakeholder information:

  1. Select an existing stakeholder record if you need to edit a pre-filled stakeholders record or select Add Stakeholder.

  2. Enter the mandatory fields:
    • First name.

    • Last name.

    • Date of birth.
      • Enter the DOB value by typing it into the field following the format stated above. OR

      • Select the DOB field, highlight the year and type it in, select the month from the dropdown and finally select the day.

    • Nationality.

    • Country of residence.

    • Email address.

    • Phone number.

    • House name and/or number.

    • Street.

    Note

    If we are able to pre-populate the address information for you, you’ll notice that the house name and/or number is populated in the Street field. You need to move this to the separate House Name and/or Number.

    • Town.

    • Country.

    • Postcode.

  3. If they are a shareholder, select Shareholder and enter the Ownership %.

  4. If they are a company director, select Company Director.

  5. If they are a primary contact, select Primary Contact.

  6. If they are an authorised signatory, select authorised Signatory.

  7. If they are an individual who will control the merchant account with Cashflows, select Person with Significant Control

  8. When you’re satisfied that all the required details have been filled in, select Next.

Adding trading history information

As part of our decision process, we require information about your merchant’s trading history. This information helps us to make better informed decisions about applications. For example, the types of sale they make, monthly card sales, average transaction value and average delivery days.

To enter the trading information:

  1. Enter the merchant’s Trading Name.

    Note

    If they trade under the same name as the Company Name, you should fill in the Trading Name to match the Company Name. In the next screen, you will be able to set a Trading Name per store, for the cases where it differs per store.

  2. Enter the mandatory fields:
    • Main type of sales.

    • Monthly card sales (in GBP).

    • Average transaction value (in GBP).

    • Trading regions.

      Note

      Multiple trading regions can be selected if applicable.

    • Brief description of business.

    Note

    Settlement Day enables you to specify which settlement frequency the merchant would like from our offering. If the merchant wants T+0, this is known as our Anytime Settlement feature which is subject to an additional set of due diligence checks, pricing and risk assessments as per point 3.2 in our T&Cs. For more information, please contact your relationship manager.

  3. When you’re satisfied that all the required details have been filled in, select Next.

Adding merchant store information

Important

You need to capture each store the merchant has that they want to trade through Cashflows.

To fill in the store information:

  1. Select Add Store.

  2. Enter the store’s Trading Name.

    Note

    This can be different to the Company Name and Trading Name previously set if the Merchant trades under a different name for this store.

  8. When you’re satisfied that all the required details have been filled in, select Next.

    Important

    Before the application moves to the underwriting phase, the merchant’s stakeholders you have marked as authorised signatures must all sign the merchant contract that has been sent to them via email using our e-signature provider. Should an authorised signatory decline the contract, the application will be marked as Contract Void and Closed.

    Note

    Once you’ve submitted the application, you’ll be returned to the portal home page where you can monitor your application’s status or carry out other actions in the portal. At any point you can return to the application and upload supporting documents if the application isn’t in the Closed phase.

How to resume a saved application

To do this:

  1. Find your application on the home page or by searching for it.

  2. Select the open icon.

  3. Continue entering the application information.

If after 90 days from creating the application, it isn’t submitted, the application will be closed, and a new application must be started.

How merchants sign the contract

Once an application has been submitted, we distribute the contract via DocuSign for signature by the merchant’s authorised signatories that you captured in Stakeholder Information. The contract must be signed by all authorised signatories before application is moved to the underwriting stage.

Important

If after 90 days the contract isn’t signed, the application will be closed, and a new application must be started.

Should an authorised signatory decline the contract, the application will be marked as Contract Void and Closed.

Receiving email notifications

You’ll receive email notifications from us at specific points in the application journey through Fast Onboarding. Each email will summarise the applications status and prompt you to visit the portal to see more information or carry out specific actions. All emails are sent to the individual application creator.

Credit Approved

We have assessed the application and can confirm that credit has been approved. This is the first step toward being accepted.

There are still some compliance checks required to complete the underwriting process, so please be aware that full approval will only be granted once we have completed these and are happy with the result.

We may require further information from you to do this, which we will contact you about if that is the case.

More Information Required

We have reviewed your application and have found there is outstanding information or documentation which we require. Please visit the application portal to provide the additional information so we can complete your application.

Reminders are sent at the following frequency if the request for more information isn’t actioned:

  • 3 days

  • 7 days

  • 14 days

  • 30 days

  • 60 days

Application Approved

The application has been approved. The merchant’s account will now be activated. Additional key information will be sent to you, covering their account details, terms, and how to access their online account.

Application Declined

We have assessed the application for your merchant and regrettably, we’re unable to offer them our services at this time. You can find out the specific reason for this in the application portal.

Application has expired

Your application has unfortunately expired.

Understanding the progress of your applications

Receiving a decision

Following the successful signing of the merchant contract, we run each merchant application through our decision engine to validate the application information provided and gathered from our third-party providers against a set of rules that cover both credit and compliance risk.

The possible application results are:

  • Approved.

  • Declined.

  • More information required.

Approved

When the merchant application is approved, you’ll see the application phase change to Closed and the activity set to Approved. As part of the approval decision, a risk score and rating are set in our system to configure the merchant for periodic monitoring.

Important

At this point, we initiate the account setup within our system, and you will receive communication from us once we’ve successfully activated the merchant’s account.

Declined

When the merchant application is declined, you’ll see the application phase change to Closed and the activity set to Declined. Where we can, we will share the reason why it has been declined as part of notes against the application, so that you can understand why we’ve declined it.

More information required

If we need more information from you to proceed further with the merchant’s application:

  • We assign the application back to you which will make it appear in your Other Activities in your worklist list. Once you open it, it will move to your Working on list.

  • The application is updated with the activity Additional Information Requested.

  • A list of documents required will be available to you when you open the application.

Before we can proceed further with your application, we require that you attach the documents and send the application back to us.

For more information, see Managing the documents to support an application.

Important

If after 90 days the documents haven’t been provided, the application will be closed, and a new application must be started.

This result is one which an application can go through multiple times before a final decision of Approved or Declined is made.

How to track the status of your applications

You can track your merchant applications and depending on your permissions, track all applications submitted by your organisation.

You can view your applications and your organisations applications in a variety of ways. For more information, see Viewing applications.

Managing the documents to support an application

When applying for an account, you might need to provide us with additional documents that contain important information about the merchant or their stakeholders.

We group these additional documents into two categories:

  • Company – documents relating to the company that validate the information you’ve provided.

  • Stakeholder – documents relating to the individuals you’ve set as either directors or shareholders of the merchant that validate the information you’ve provided.

When requesting documents from the merchant or uploading documents in the portal, you’ll be presented with a list of document types to choose from. These document types are the common types that we require when additional documents are needed. If you can’t find the document type you require, you should select Other and write the document you need.

In this section you can find out more information about:

  • How to upload documents.

  • How to handle requests for documents from us.

  • How to ask your merchant contact to send additional documents.

  • How to track which documents have been uploaded.

  • How to return your application back to the Underwriter following a request for additional information.

How to upload documents


Documents can be uploaded at any time before you’ve submitted the application via each application screen.

To do this:

  1. Select the upload icon in the top right of the screen you are on.

  2. Select the Application ID.

  3. Select New File.

  4. Select Choose file.
    • Find the file you want to upload.

  7. Add supporting information in the Note field.

  8. Select Add.

  9. Repeat steps 3-8 as many times as you require.

  10. Select Close.

How to handle receiving requests for additional documents from us

After you’ve successful submitted an application, our team might ask you for additional documents to enable them to make a final decision.

In this scenario:

  1. The application will be assigned back to you and in your Other Activities in your Worklist list.

  2. To view the requested documents:
    • Select the open icon. This moves the application into your Working on list.

    • Under the Application Decision tab, the document types required for the Company and/or Stakeholders are listed under the appropriate headings.

  3. To upload the documents required, you can either gather them from the merchant using your own tools or processes and upload them yourself or request that the merchant upload them via Cashflows Fast Onboarding.

  4. Once you or the merchant have uploaded the documents required, you need to send the application back to the Underwriter.

How to request documents from the merchant

Important

If you choose to request documents from the merchant through the available Cashflows Fast Onboarding document management feature, this will lock the application until the merchant has submitted the documents back to you. Using this functionality is optional and if you’d prefer to request the documents via your own tool or process, you can do this and simply upload the documents. For more information, see How to upload documents and Returning an application to the underwriter.

There are two scenarios when you might want to request documents from the merchant via the Cashflows Fast Onboarding. These scenarios are:

  • When you’ve populated the application information and are on the application summary screen ahead of submitting the application but know that you need to upload supporting documents which the merchant needs to provide

  • When you’ve submitted the application, reviewed by an Underwriter and it has been sent back to you for supporting documents.

In both cases, you should ensure you have the application open and on the application summary screen, then select the Documents Overview tab.

To request documents from the merchant, you need to:

  1. Select Request Documents.

    Note

    The documents required are grouped by company and individual stakeholders. A free text notes section is available for you to be able to provide written instructions if required.

  2. Select the Company and/or Stakeholders you want to request documents for and select the document type for each. You can ask for multiple documents for the company or unique stakeholders.

  3. Enter accompanying notes (optional).

  4. Select Request Documents to send the request to the merchant.

    Note

    Whilst the application is awaiting the merchant to upload the documents requested, the application will be moved from your Working on list to your Waiting Activities list.

The merchant is sent an automated email via the online portal asking them to provide additional documents to support their application.

Following receiving the email, they will need to:

  1. Select the link in the email they’ve received which will open a webpage.

  2. Read the documents requested and notes you’ve included.

  3. Upload the documents requested via the Upload Documents.

  4. Send the documents back to you by selecting the Submit Documents.

Note

When the merchant is uploading their documents for the company and stakeholders as you’ve requested, there isn’t a form of visual confirmation on the browser that the documents have been attached nor are the documents listed/removable. The documents however have been attached and upon selecting Submit Documents, they are attached the application in the portal.

Once the merchant has submitted the documents for the application, your application will be moved from your Waiting Activities list to your Other Activities in your Worklist list.

Benefits of using Cashflows Portal

  • See all of your customer transactions in one place.

  • Specify a business or outlet (merchant ) and see what they see.

  • You don’t need to sign in as a different business or outlet (merchant) user and you don’t need to sign into a different system.

How Cashflows Portal looks

In Cashflows Portal there’s a hierarchy of:

  • Partner Your organisation

  • Business Your customers. Each merchant is set up with a business ID and can have multiple merchant IDs to one business ID.

  • Merchant Your customers. The individual merchant IDs under the business ID. Your customers access Cashflows Portal via their Business ID and then select the merchant ID of the customer that they want to look into.

Each business and outlet (merchant) can have its own Cashflows Portal account.

When youSign into Cashflows Portal as a partner, you can choose to work in the context of partner and see transactions for all of your customers and business information for your organisation. You can also choose to view transactions and business information for a selected customer or an individual outlet. This enables you to see what your customers see and is useful if any of them need support. For more information, see How to choose a partner, business or merchant context.

Here’s an example that shows what you see when you sign in to Cashflows Portal in partner context, without selecting a business or merchant. The first page displayed is the Transactions page.

Note

The columns shown in the examples throughout this guide depend on whether the display has been customised. If a page has a Columns button, you can use it to choose which columns to show or hide. This enables you to focus on the detail that you need most. For more information, see How to customise the display.

Tip

Your organisation’s name is displayed at the top of the menu. Your initials are displayed at the bottom.

Here’s an example that shows what you see when you sign in to Cashflows Portal as a partner and then select a business and a merchant. The first page displayed is the Dashboard page for the selected merchant.

Tip

The name of the selected business and merchant are displayed at the top of the Cashflows Portal menu.

The available menu options on the left, depend on the context that you choose.

The menu that you see when you sign in to Cashflows Portal as a partner is different to the menu that merchants see. For an overview of Cashflows Portal for merchants, see the Cashflows Portal guide.

The default menu that you see you when you sign in as a partner, has options that:

  • Take you straight to the Notifications centre This is where we communicate about planned maintenance and announce new features and releases.

  • Display your profile so that you can view contact details if you need to.

  • Enable you to securely sign out from Cashflows Portal.
