Know Your Customer (KYC)
Understanding our KYC requirements and process
What is KYC?
Know Your Customer (KYC) refers to the process of verifying the identity of our clients. Financial institutions and companies are legally required to "know" who their clients are to prevent identity theft, financial fraud, money laundering, and terrorist financing.
Our KYC Process
At Zephyr Pay, we have a streamlined KYC process that ensures compliance while minimizing inconvenience to our customers:
- Information Collection: Basic personal information including name, address, date of birth, and contact details.
- Identity Verification: Submission of government-issued identification documents (passport, driver's license, etc.).
- Business Verification: For business accounts, additional documents like business registration, proof of business address, and ownership structure.
- Verification Process: Our compliance team verifies submitted documents, which typically takes 1-2 business days.
