Signing Up for Slash: What You'll Need to Get Started

Overview

Slash offers two distinct versions of our platform: Slash's standard platform and the Global USD Account. Before beginning your application, it's important to understand which product you're applying for, as each carries different documentation and eligibility requirements:

1. Slash: Our full-featured business banking platform is available to US-incorporated entities only. This encompasses users located within the U.S. as well as applicants abroad with a qualifying U.S. business entity. The business banking account grants access to the Slash Card, full payment rails, expense management, and more. Crypto and treasury features are not automatically included.
2. Global USD Account: Designed for non-US companies that need US banking capabilities. This product provides a US account with routing number along with payment rails, cryptocurrency transfers, and corporate cards.

This article only covers application requirements for the standard dashboard and Global USD account. For information about secondary applications for treasury, crypto, and financing, refer to the list of articles below:

Starting Your Slash Application

To begin your Slash application, start by using our online application form. Before proceeding to the full application, you'll answer several preliminary questions to help Slash understand your business's needs:

1. What's your email address?
2. Has your company raised venture capital funding?
3. How many employees does your company have?
4. How much does your business spend on corporate cards per month?
5. How much stablecoin payment volume does your business have per month?

After completing the questionnaire, you'll be prompted to provide your name, company name, and phone number. This information is used solely to connect you with the Sales team and does not constitute a commitment to use Slash products.

Note: Once you begin filling out an online application, you'll be asked the country where your business is incorporated. If you operate a U.S.-registered entity, your application will be for the standard Slash account; if you choose another country besides the U.S., your application will automatically default to the Global USD account.
