The performance of identity verification is an essential part of our anti-money laundering regime. We require all our users to pass identity verification upon registration at our software and/or applications and at any moment thereafter.
For the purposes of this Policy we may require you to provide us with the following information: first name, last name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, date of birth, taxpayer identification number, a government identification, and, if applicable, information regarding your bank account (such as the name of the bank, the account type, SWIFT code, and account number). Also, we may request from you your driving license or any other national ID, internal or international passport, bank statement, utility bill, tax document and/or other documents that we consider necessary for your identification. We may request from you video identification or your selfie with a specified ID or passport.
When you act on behalf of an entity, in addition, we may require such entity to pass entity verification prior it starts using our services and at any moment thereafter. In this case, we may require you to provide us with the following information: business name of the entity, registry code or registration number and the date of registration; ID of the shareholders (same as for the natural person identification), ID of the director(s) and/or members of the management board (same as for the natural person identification), ID’s of the representatives (same as for the natural person identification), proof of the registered office/seat of the entity, ID’s of the beneficial owners (same as for the natural person identification), bank statements, proof of representation and powers; articles of association and/or other information and documents that we consider necessary.
The submitted documents (other than driving license, national ID, internal or international passport, articles of association or entity’s by-laws) should be issued no more than three months prior to the date of identification and should list your name and your current address. In providing us with this or any other information that may be required, you confirm that the information is accurate and authentic. You agree to keep us updated if any of the information or document you provide changes.
You acknowledge and agree that we may additionally investigate certain of our users who have been determined by us to be of the higher risk or suspicious.
You acknowledge and agree that we may use subcontractors for the purpose of your identity verification. In this case processing of the requested information and documents would be governed by such subcontractor’s privacy policy and you would be able to read such privacy policy before you submit any information.
You hereby agree to provide us or our subcontractors with the information we or our subcontractors request and you hereby permit us and our subcontractors to keep a record of such information.
You authorize us and our subcontractors to make inquiries, whether directly or through third parties, that we and our subcontractors consider necessary to verify your identity, prove your address, prove a source of your funds or protect you and/or us against fraud or other financial crime, and to take action we reasonably deem necessary based on the results of such inquiries.
We shall have the right to verify your identity, request you to prove your address, request you to prove a source of your funds on an on-going basis, including cases when your identification information has been changed or your activity seemed to be suspicious (unusual for you). We reserve the right to request up-to-date documents from you and/or represented entity, even though you have passed identity verification in the past.
