This article outlines the information that you will need to provide in order to verify your account as a Charity/Non Profit organisation.

This will apply if you have a registration number with the Charity Commission. If your organisation does not have a charity number in its own right, please select one of the other options.
What Information do we require?
You will be able to provide the details for your organisation within the ‘Tell Us About Your Company’ section of your dashboard. We will ask for:
Charity Details:
- Tell us briefly what you are collecting payments for under What does your business do?
- Select 'Registered charity' from the Charity/non-profit type menu
- Enter your charity number, charity name and address for the organisation
Your Details:
- Under Your Details, enter your own name, residential address and date of birth.
- If you are also a trustee, tick the ‘I am a trustee of this charity box.’
- If you are not a trustee, please leave the box unticked.
Trustee Details:
- Under Trustee details, enter the names and dates of birth of all trustees registered with the Charity Commission.
- If you are not a trustee of the charity, you will be asked to provide the name, residential address & date of birth for one trustee. You may be prompted to provide supporting documents for this individual.
Once you have provided this information, please click Continue. You will then be guided through the onboarding steps including:

If you are an excepted charity, you operate under the regulation of the Charity Commission but you are exempt from registering or submitting annual returns. You will not have a charity number of your own.
