Complete KYB verification. You will need the following documents:

  1. Constitutional Document (Certificate of Incorporation)

Legal arrangements are to provide us with reasonable proof of the registration with the governing body in that jurisdiction. This could vary, but a certificate of incorporation that is not older than 12 months or a link to the website where the entity is registered or letter confirming registration with that authority are general examples that can be used.

  1. Shareholders Register

Must contain company name and registration number.

  1. Proof of Address

Utility bills or WIFI statements. Alternatively the client may provide a lease agreement that is still valid or a bank statement that has the bank's stamp on it.

  1. Source of Funds

Most recent audited financial statements or 3 most recent months Bank statements from where the client intends to fund their account or a client agreement the entity has with a customer of theirs. Should the funds come from another source sufficient proof thereof must be provided.

  1. KYC documents (for shareholders that hold 5% or more of the shares in the entity)
  1. Where the 5%+ Shareholder is a natural person:
  1. Provide their ID/passport
  2. Provide their proof of address:

Utility bills and WIFI statements are to be requested as first choice documents. Alternatively the client may provide a lease agreement that is still valid or a bank statement that has the bank's stamp on it.

  1. Where the 5%+ shareholder is another legal entity:

The documents listed in 1 to 4 must be submitted.

  1. Who is the senior manager/Organogram of internal (employee/managerial) hierarchical structure

A senior management member that is responsible for the day to day management of the company must be identified, and must provide the documents as set out in 5(a)(i) and (ii).

  1. Proof of authority to act on behalf of the company.

The individual that is onboarding the entity must provide a board resolution or mandate specifically authorizing them to act on behalf of the company. (where the individual is the director and UBO, as is the case in small companies a simple letter confirming same that is signed and dated by that individual will suffice).

  1. Licenses or Certificates that the company holds

  1. Tax Compliance Certificate or any document which shows the company’s tax number
