Completing identity checks for Anti-Money Laundering purposes

Completing identity checks for Anti-Money Laundering purposes

As a Financial Services Provider we must comply with the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act 2009 (AML).

Certain agreed exemptions mean that the majority of undertakings do not require Customer Due Diligence checks to comply with our obligations under AML. However some actions do, such as withdrawals, or donations over $10k, and this requires a specific set of information to be provided and verification of identity for the continued use of Kindo.

Please complete the online form in full, to start the process. You will need to upload some documents, such as bank account name/account number verification and proof of address.

On the form you will be able to select Electronic Verification of identity or Trusted Referee certification.
  1. The electronic verification link will be text to your mobile phone on completion of the form. You will need a passport or drivers licence.
  2. The trusted referee certification requires you to gather certified documents for uploading to the form. You may want to prepare these first. Guidance is here.
