YAPEAL must clarify and document the tax status of the YAPSTER in accordance with FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act) and AEOI (Automatic Exchange of Information) with appropriate evidence. Only on this basis can YAPEAL decide whether and what, if anything, needs to be reported to the competent tax authorities about the YAPSTER or about the beneficial owners, or whether YAPEAL can enter into or continue the business relationship with the YAPSTER at all.
YAPEAL does not conduct any business relationships with US persons or legal entities or partnerships with US persons as beneficial owners. YAPEAL is also obliged to report any YAPSTERs or corresponding beneficial owners that may be subject to reporting under FATCA or AEOI.
It is important to us to make the self-declaration of tax status as simple as possible for the YAPSTER. We are therefore limiting this to matters that are likely to apply to most of our YAPSTERs: The YAPSTER as a private client, i.e. as the owner of a sole proprietorship, confirms that he is not a US person and declares his main tax domicile (or, if applicable, all existing main tax domiciles). The YAPSTER as a corporate client confirms the tax status as NFFE under FATCA and as NFE under AEOI. This generally applies to those YAPSTERs that are domiciled in Switzerland, conduct an operational, commercial business and are not financial institutions. This description is for information purposes only. The exact criteria of the specified tax status can be called up and checked by the YAPSTER as information in the YAPEAL system as part of the self-declaration. Due to the legal framework, we are not permitted to advise the YAPSTER on questions relating to self-declaration.
If the stated tax status under AEOI or FATCA does not apply to the YAPSTER or the YAPSTER is unable to confirm this, we may have to obtain additional information on the tax status from the YAPSTER and any beneficial owners and in most cases will unfortunately not be able to enter into a relationship with the YAPSTER or will have to close the existing relationship.
The YAPSTER is also obliged to inform us immediately, i.e. to update and reconfirm the self-declaration, if there are any changes to its tax status or tax domicile.
Detailed information on AEOI and FATCA can be found here:

Do you already have a private account with YAPEAL?
In this case, the process can be easily started in the menu under " Business Account".

As soon as the money has been repaid to Wise, it is automatically transferred back to the customer. This process usually takes up to two working days.
