General

Can I apply for a Soldo account using my personal email address?

No, you can’t apply for a Soldo account using your personal email address. That’s because the account will belong to the company you work for, rather than to you as an individual. We can’t accept any email addresses from free service providers such as Gmail or Yahoo.

Don’t worry if you’ve already tried to apply using your personal email address. You can simply try again using your work email address.
