Why do we need to check your photo ID
We are required to identify users on our platform.
This ensures we remain in compliance with KYC/AML laws in the UK, something that is necessary for us to be able to continue to offer our instant payment services.
For more details on what information we collect and how we securely store and protect these records, please refer to our Privacy Policy ID verification general guidelines. All images submitted are only used for ID verification and we will use these as part of our validation of your account.
