Service Provider Account Types
EMA Account Requirements
Providers must create an account in EMA to offer services.
Businesses must create a Business Account in order to receive direct payments through the EMA platform.
If a service requires credentials, each employee providing the service must also create a Personal Account to submit and manage their credentials.
All payments are issued to the Business Account, not to individual employees.
