In the fine print

Conditions from Sends's own terms, pricing pages and acceptable-use policy that don't fit in a table. Read in full and checked by hand.

Payments & transfers

  • Local GBP payments settle over UK Faster Payments/CHAPS and typically arrive within about 2 hours.
  • EUR is received and sent over SEPA using a UK-issued (GB) IBAN rather than a Eurozone IBAN.

Business activity

  • Business onlyBeyond the sectors flagged separately, Sends also prohibits multi-level marketing, pawnbrokers, political organisations, drug paraphernalia, carbon credits, and Ponzi or pyramid schemes.
  • Business onlyFor card acquiring specifically, extra categories are barred: covert surveillance equipment, remote sale of medicines or tobacco without a licence, food supplements, and government documents or identity cards.
  • Business onlySends does not open accounts for shell banks or for financial institutions making payments on behalf of other financial institutions (nested / layering relationships).

Opening an account

  • Business onlyCard acquiring (payment processing for merchants) is available to UK companies only.
  • Business onlySENDS does not accept a business if the company, or anyone who owns or controls it, is sanctioned, is located or resident in one of the 22 countries on its prohibited list, or acts on behalf of such a person, and this rule has no minimum ownership stake. This match only checks where the owners you listed (25% or more) live: it does not check smaller shareholders, directors or other controllers, sanctions, or where the company or these people are actually located.

Licence & regulation

  • The e-money licence is held by Smartflow Payments Limited, trading as SENDS (FCA FRN 900873).

Will Sends actually accept you?

Acceptance depends on where your company is registered, where its owners live, where your money flows - and your sector. The wizard checks Sends's published rules on all of them, and shows you the alternatives too.
