The following business categories of businesses are restricted from using the DNBC accounts, services, and transactions. “Restricted Businesses” may be demanded obligation through the DNBC Financial Group partner network (including Financial Services Providers, Bank Partners, Local Authority of Lithuania). In particular, clients or partners are classified into different business lines. Depending on the case, DNBC Financial Group will consider making transactions and providing services through the DNBC system by the terms and conditions set forth by DNBC Financial Group.

Businesses listed below are eligible for getting started with the onboarding process before the approval from DNBC Financial Group. Clients, as well as partners that make illegal businesses, products, and services, are never appropriate to use the DNBC Services. Businesses listed below in the right column are representative, but not exhaustive.

Clients confirm that DNBC Financial Group may not approve of using the DNBC Services if their businesses have connections with the following Non-Cooperative Jurisdictions. Unless the client has received approval from DNBC Financial Group, it is prohibited to use the Services.
