A team in Valencia wants to launch an account for gig workers who get paid weekly. Before filing through the Banco de España's online office, we set up an environment in its brand: Spanish onboarding, a virtual card, vaults and an alert for every payment received.
While the Banco de España and SEPBLAC review the file, the team connects its safeguarding bank and card issuer and tests the five-business-day control for card top-ups on dummy data. Once authorised and entered in the register, the same platform opens to the first customers.
