Questions you might have
- What if Vault asks me to use Financial setup or cannot load the agreements?
- If Vault asks you to use Financial setup, refresh the page and follow [the current account-opening guide](/guides/open-a-vault-account). If the required agreements are unavailable, wait until they are available or ask Ticket Fairy support; do not keep submitting the same form.
- Can I open a Vault account for one event?
- No. Vault belongs to the brand, and a brand has one Vault account, so money from every event the brand runs arrives in the same place.
- Why can't I see Vault in my brand menu?
- Vault shows to owners of a brand that has it switched on. If you're an owner and it isn't there, ask Ticket Fairy support to switch Vault on for your brand.
- What does Action required mean on my account?
- Vault needs more information before it can activate the account. Select Continue setup on the Vault account card and answer what the window asks.
- Can a colleague finish setting up the account for me?
- A colleague with an owner role can finish opening the account. They need the business and identity details to hand; account creation and the secure verification questions stay in the dashboard.
- Can I change the details after I create the account?
- The dashboard has no form to change them once the account exists. Contact Ticket Fairy support if a detail you entered is wrong.
- My account says Suspended. What now?
- A suspended account can neither receive nor move money. Contact Ticket Fairy support, who can review the restriction and tell you what is needed to restore it.
- Which countries can a business set up Vault from?
- The available setup path depends on the business and its country. Follow the questions and account status offered to your brand, and ask Ticket Fairy support if setup is unavailable.
