The payment system is a key part of the modern monetary system, providing an opportunity to provide money transfer between individuals and legal entities.

WHAT IS A PAYMENT SYSTEM?

The payment system is a company whose job is to ensure the exchange of funds within the economy and across national borders between the participants – private and legal entities. This is the basis of the laws, rules, mechanisms, systems, procedures and agreements that govern payments.

It is noteworthy that the payment system is not a bank, but an organization engaged in the provision of financial services with an appropriate license.

Payments can be classified at high and retail value, taking into account the cost of the payment and the type of party that initiates the transaction.

Large payments tend to be high-value payments made by financial institutions, while retail payments are made by individuals and have a relatively low cost.

ACCOUNT OPENING PROCEDURE

To open an account, a company must provide a registration document and a charter, may also require additional papers.

By the way, not every organization will work with clients representing risky operations (for example, firms engaged in the sale of excisable goods or online casinos).
