Illustration 1: Paxum.com Sign Up Now
After you click to sign-up for your free Paxum Personal account, you will see a form that
you need to complete.
Username (E-mail)* - The Username is the email address you will use to log-in to your account and
receive notifications about your account activity. Your username must start with a LETTER.
Paxum Tips & Tricks – When possible, we recommend that you choose a private email address for
your Paxum Username, rather than an email address that you give to others frequently. This will
provide enhanced protection against hackers and fraudulent activity, as your Username can remain
private at all times. To maintain your privacy when receiving payments, you will have the opportunity
to confirm additional email addresses to your account after Paxum account registration.
Account Type* - Select Personal or Business. If you own/operate a company and plan to issue bulk
payments, we recommend you select Business, otherwise we suggest you select a Personal account.
Password* - Your password MUST contain a variety of Letters, Numbers, and at least ONE special
character (such as !#$*+,-.:;=?@^_~%/\&). Must be minimum 8 characters in length.

Nickname must begin with a letter.
Security* - As you probably expect, we require you to enter a security code to prove that your
application was submitted by a human being.
After you submit your application, you will receive a notification email to the Email Address you
specified as your Paxum Account Username.
If you do not receive the confirmation email within a few minutes, check your spam/junk folder in
case it went astray.
The confirmation email will contain a verification link that you must click to confirm that you
initiated the request to create a Paxum account.
After you click the confirmation link, you will be redirected to the Paxum website to agree to Paxum's
Terms of Service, and Privacy Policy, and to confirm that you are the final beneficiary of the account
(ie: you are the account owner).
After you agree, you can complete the rest of your registration information (name, address, etc) and
submit your verification documents.
