# Production access

Production access enables real providers and transactions. Business verification and a signed service agreement are required before the live environment becomes available.

## 1. Start verification

Open the dashboard and select **Start verification** or **Verify**.

## 3. Wait for approval

Testing can continue in sandbox while Coindisco reviews the application and prepares the service agreement.
