Why verify your WebMoney account (and what “verified” means)
WebMoney offers several user statuses — from unverified to formally verified statuses such as Alias, Basic, Formal, and Initial/Personal/Business passport levels (nomenclature and exact names have evolved). In practical business terms, verification:
Confirms the identity of the account owner (person or entity).
Unlocks higher transaction and withdrawal limits.
Enables use of certain services (merchant tools, contracts, automated payouts, API access).
Reduces the likelihood of holds and disputes because WebMoney can link activity to verifiable identity.
Increases trust for partners and clients who may check your WMID/credentials.
For businesses, aim beyond the minimum — the higher verification levels (Formal/Business passport equivalents) give credibility and better service options.

Overview of the legal, safe approach
Register an official WebMoney account in your business’s legal name (or as a sole proprietor using your legal name).
Gather official documents (company registration, tax ID, owner ID) and prepare clear, recent proofs of address.
Choose the verification path appropriate for your jurisdiction and submit the documents to a WebMoney registrar or through the official verification flow.
Link a business bank account (where required) and set up merchant services if you need to accept payments on your website.
Harden security, maintain pristine bookkeeping, and comply with tax and AML/KYC rules.
Below are the practical steps and tips to implement each stage.
Step 1 — Decide the account structure: Individual vs Business entity
Before registration, decide how the account will be held:
Sole proprietor / freelancer: Use your full legal name and national ID/SSN or equivalent. This is suitable for solo consultants and small traders.
Registered company (LLC, Ltd, corporation): Register the account in the company’s name and prepare company documents. This is usually better for growing businesses as it separates personal and business liabilities and may be required by clients or marketplaces.
Choosing the correct legal form up front avoids verification hiccups later and ensures accounting and tax compliance.

Step 2 — Registering your WebMoney account (WMID)
Sign up on the official WebMoney site or through an official registrar. Use a business contact email and a phone number dedicated to business operations.
Choose your currency purses (WMR, WMZ, WME, etc.) — these are WebMoney wallets denominated in various currencies. Pick the currencies you expect to use most.
Record your WMID — this is your unique identifier. Share it only with trusted partners and on official invoices where needed.
Set up a business email and phone for recovery — keep these secured (not personal accounts used casually).
Tip: use a business-dedicated phone number (VoIP or SIM) and a dedicated business email address (company domain) — this increases professionalism and reduces identity confusion during verification.
Step 3 — Prepare documents and KYC materials
WebMoney’s higher verification tiers require a set of documents. Exact requirements depend on your country, but typically include:
For a sole proprietor / individual:
Government-issued photo ID (passport, national ID, driver’s license).
Proof of residence (utility bill, bank statement) not older than 3 months.
Tax ID or social security number (if applicable).
For a business entity:
Certificate of incorporation or registration.
Taxpayer Identification Number (EIN, VAT ID, or local equivalent).
Articles of association or equivalent formation documents.
List of beneficial owners / directors (sometimes notarized).
Government-issued ID of the company’s authorized representative(s).
Proof of business address (lease, utility bill, recent bank statement).
Bank statement from the business bank account (may be requested to link banking details).
Quality matters: submit clear high-resolution scans, ensure names are identical across documents, and crop to show full document edges. If any document uses non-Latin scripts, obtain professional translations if WebMoney requires them.
Step 4 — Submit for verification properly
There are two common ways to verify:
Online submission via your account dashboard — attach scans and fill metadata. Follow WebMoney prompts exactly.
Through an authorized registrar or service center — registrars can validate your documents in person in certain countries (useful where in-person ID checks are required).
When submitting:
Double-check that the spelled names, dates, and addresses match your WebMoney profile and banking records.
Include context (e.g., a short cover letter) if your business name differs slightly from the registration document — explain the discrepancy and present a DBA/translation if necessary.
Keep copies of submission receipts and case numbers.
Verification typically takes days to weeks depending on jurisdiction, workload, and if manual review is required. Be patient and respond promptly if WebMoney asks for clarifications.
Step 5 — Link and confirm a business bank account
While WebMoney operates with internal purses, linking a bank account is essential for withdrawals, deposits, and compliance:
Use a bank account registered in the same legal name as your WebMoney account.
Provide bank statements or an account verification letter if requested.
Some countries require notarized bank reference letters — be aware how your bank issues such paperwork.
Linking bank accounts helps with higher withdrawal limits and demonstrates a traceable cash flow to regulators and partners.
Step 6 — Activate merchant services and API access (if needed)
If you plan to accept payments on a website or integrate WebMoney with invoicing/ERP:
Apply for merchant (merchant WM merchant identifier) onboarding via WebMoney merchant center.
Prepare business documents, a merchant agreement, and sometimes proof of product/service.
For API integration, generate API keys from your verified account and secure them in your systems.
WebMoney’s merchant system supports payment buttons, invoice links, and integration libraries. A verified business account gains priority in merchant onboarding and can use advanced features.
Step 7 — Security hardening (must-do list)
Security prevents account takeover and preserves your reputation:
Use a strong, unique password and change it at regular intervals.
Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) — WebMoney supports hardware tokens and mobile authenticators. Use hardware tokens for highest security.
Register a recovery phone and secondary email for account recovery, but keep them as business-controlled, secure channels.
Limit admin access: if multiple people handle the account, use separate user roles and never share passwords.
Monitor access logs and suspicious activity alerts daily for high-volume accounts.
If you ever suspect breach, freeze transfers immediately and contact WebMoney support.
Step 8 — Operations: managing wallets, limits, and workflows
Maintain separate purses for different currencies to avoid frequent conversions and fees.
Be aware of daily/monthly load and withdrawal limits — these expand as verification levels improve. Plan payroll and vendor payments around limits.
Reconcile WebMoney activity with your accounting system weekly. Export transaction histories and attach invoices/receipts for each movement.
Use authorized WM certificates or contracts for recurring payments (subscriptions, retainers) to formalize relationships.
Proper operations and tidy records reduce the chance of disputes and make audits painless.
Step 9 — Compliance, taxes, and AML considerations
Record all incoming revenues and outgoing expenses found in WebMoney purses in your tax records — funds in WebMoney are still taxable revenue.
If you receive large cross-border payments, know your reporting obligations (VAT, income tax, withholding) in both jurisdictions.
Keep KYC/AML paperwork organized — regulators and payment systems may request transaction trail documentation.
Consider consulting a local accountant with cross-border payment experience to stay compliant.
Staying compliant is not optional — it protects your company and reputation.
Step 10 — Troubleshooting and support
Common issues and fixes:
Verification delays: Check for small discrepancies (e.g., name order, initials). Contact support and reference your case number.
Account holds or frozen funds: Respond quickly to requests for documentation and provide transaction evidence.
High fees or exchange rates: Optimize by batching transfers, using local currency purses, or switching payout routes.
Merchant integration problems: Use developer docs, sandbox testing, and ensure your account has merchant privileges.
Keep records of all support interactions and escalate politely if responses lag.
Alternatives and complementary tools
If WebMoney doesn’t fully meet your needs, consider complementing it with:
Traditional merchant processors (Stripe, PayPal, Adyen) for wide card acceptance.
Neobanks and multicurrency business accounts for better FX rates and local banking in multiple regions.
Cryptocurrency rails for rapid settlement in some B2B corridors (ensure regulatory compliance).
Use WebMoney for scenarios where its network and low-cost internal transfers are advantaged, and use other providers where card acceptance and local banking are needed.
