Electronic Verification Consent
Why must we verify your identity?
We are obligated under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 to verify the identity of our users before we can provide our users with our products and services. If you are a Business user, we also need to verify the identity of certain individuals such as the directors of your Company or partners in a partnership.
With your consent, we can quickly verify your identity electronically by checking independent databases or verify your identity with credit reporting agencies. Please see below for more information.
If you are a Business user and you are providing the personal information on behalf of someone else, you confirm that you are authorised to provide the personal information provided.
If you or anyone else we are required to conduct identity verification on do not consent to these Terms, then we may not be able to provide you with our products or services. However, we may make available alternative means of verifying identity in certain instances.
If you have any privacy related enquiries, please contact us at [email protected].
