Navigating the KYC Process: A Step-by-Step Guide to Verifying Your Identity
May 10, 2023
KYC, which stands for Know Your Customer, is the essential process of verifying a client’s personal data, typically conducted by financial institutions. To confirm their identity, individuals are required to provide valid documents such as an identity card, utility bill indicating their home address, or a National Insurance Number.
The primary objective of KYC is to proactively combat money laundering, economic crimes, and other illicit activities; that’s why this documentation package is requested during the user registration process.
In this blog post, we will provide you with a comprehensive step-by-step guide on how to complete our KYC process successfully. The personal information form consists of five main steps: Basic Info, ID Document, Personal Info, Proof of Address, and Residential Address. By following these detailed screenshots, you can gather the necessary information in advance, enabling you to navigate through the authorisation process quickly and smoothly.
Now, let’s dive into each step of the KYC process:
— Basic Info:
In this section, you will be asked to provide your fundamental personal details. This typically includes your date of birth, country, tax residency, and contact information. Ensure that the information you provide is accurate and matches the details on your identification document.
— ID Document:
Here, you will need to submit a scanned copy or clear photograph of your valid identification document. Accepted forms of ID may include a passport, driving licence, or national identity card. Make sure that the document is not expired and that all the relevant information is clearly visible.
— Personal Info:
This step requires you to provide additional personal information, such as your full name, country of birth, and nationality. The purpose of this section is to gather a better understanding of your background and financial situation. Rest assured that all the information provided is treated with strict confidentiality.
— Proof of Address:
To verify your residential address, you will need to submit a document that confirms your current place of residence.

Lastly, you will be asked to input your residential address manually. Double-check that the information you provide is accurate.
