## Verifying a Malaysia-Registered Business

Businesses registered in Malaysia can verify their HitPay account by completing both identity and document verification steps.

## Verification Process

### Identity Verification

The **account representative** must complete:

* **ID verification**
* A **selfie submission** for facial match

<Check>This step is required after setting up your bank account.</Check>

### Document Verification

You’ll need to submit the following:

* **SSM Business Profile**\
  (or Business License for Sabah-based businesses not registered with SSM)

If the account representative is **not listed in the SSM document**, include:

* A signed **Letter of Authorisation (LOA)** from a company secretary or director
* **Identification documents** (with signature, e.g., passport) for:
  * The account representative
  * The person signing the LOA

<Info>
  Additional documents may be requested by our Compliance team based on your
  business type.

#### Common Additional Requirements

Some business types may need to submit more documentation:

* **Complex ownership structures** → Provide a detailed Beneficial Ownership Structure
* **Regulated industries** → Submit relevant licenses, such as:
  * Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture (MOTAC) license – for travel agencies
  * Medical Device Authority (MDA) license – for medical device businesses

## Bank Account Requirements

* **Companies and LLPs** must use a **corporate bank account** to receive payouts.
