When you open an Accountable Banking account, our banking partner Swan may ask you to upload a proof of personal income as part of the regulatory onboarding check. This article lists the accepted documents and explains what happens after you upload them.
This article covers the preferred documents, the accepted alternatives, and what to expect after submission.
Upload one of the following PDF documents:
1. Tax assessment notice (Belgium)
Must be the original PDF downloaded from MyMinfin
Issued by the Belgian tax authorities
Must be less than 2 years old
The document usually contains 5 to 6 pages: you must upload the full PDF
👉 We've added an example below so you can easily recognise it.
⚠️ The example only shows the first page, but you must upload the complete document.
💡 Just started working or recently became self-employed?
You can still upload your latest tax assessment notice, even if it shows little or no income (e.g. €0). This is sufficient.
2. Payslips (last 3 months)
Your most recent salary slips in PDF format
Must cover the last 3 months
If you don't have the preferred documents, you can also upload PDF versions of one of the following:
VAT returns (recent periodic declarations)
Proof of social security contributions
Issued invoices (typically covering the last 3 to 6 months)
Bank statements showing regular personal income (last 3 to 6 months)
All documents must be PDF files (‼️ Screenshots and blacked-out files will be rejected)
Make sure the document is clear and fully visible
The name on the document must match your Accountable Banking account
Only one document is required
If requested, you will receive an email with a secure link to upload the document. This is not required in all cases
If you can no longer find the link, contact the support team and we'll help you access it again
Once you upload your document, Swan will review it as part of your application.
As this is a regulatory check, the review is handled directly by Swan.
Upload a PDF only: screenshots and blacked-out files are rejected.
The tax assessment notice from MyMinfin is the preferred document; payslips from the last 3 months are the alternative.
If you have little or no income to show, your latest tax assessment notice is still sufficient.
Only one document is needed, and this step is not required in all cases.
After upload, Swan handles the review directly as part of the regulatory check.

In the world where everyone seems to be out to get small entrepreneurs and overwhelm them with new rules, more taxes and reporting obligations, Accountable often feels like the one steady partner that actually wants you to succeed, providing quick, clear and personalised support. Thank you!

This is an amazing application with great support on issues. In short as in day I am addicted to it (in a positive way). I myself is from IT project management and the way they have captured the user requirement, it’s phenomenal.

UI is great. Feature packed and very easy to use. The team at Accountable were VERY quick to respond and their team of technicians soon had a fix in place. Very happy with the level of service so far. Thumbs up from me!

This program is a lifesaver, and it is always improving. Plus, it has an AI chat feature that is actually useful.

The coaching session on tax management was excellent, good material, excellent explanations and very insightful. Combined with the AI I never feel alone with Accountable.

The availability of your team to help and guide people to understand their finances better is what really makes Accountable valuable. While the AI is able to give answers to most basic questions, specific scenarios need counsel from a human which your team performs beautifully.

They always answer for questions wherever is via direct e-mail or through app. If they can’t answer fully they will forward you to the right place. Documents were always prepared well and ready to send further to government. Everything is intuitive in the app and easy to sort out even for someone completely green in this field.
