The BankabilityChecklist.
What banks, EMIs and acquirers check before they say yes — and the gaps that get good businesses declined, frozen or terminated. Work through it before you apply, not after the rejection.
Eight sections.One honest score.

- 03Source of funds & wealth
Including crypto-origin funds — and why “from my wallet” isn’t an answer.
- 04Website & card compliance
Policies, descriptors, rebill terms and claims acquirers actually check.
- 05Processing history
Statements, VAMP and Mastercard ratios, MATCH, dispute prevention.
- 06Licences & banking history

- 07UAE specifics
Licence activity, office evidence, residency and the “why the UAE” question.
