Identity verifications for a more secure platform
Verifying the real existence of a natural or legal person through the provision of official documents makes it possible to prevent operations constituting attempted or proven cases of fraud, money laundering, or terrorist financing.
To do this, we implement an obligation of "vigilance" which requires us in particular to identify the beneficial owner of the transactions.
