Welcome to UniPayment! To ensure the security of your account and comply with regulatory requirements, your business needs to complete the KYC (Know Your Customer) verification process. We use the services provided by Sumsub for certification to ensure the security of the submitted materials and compliance with European Union regulations, as well as Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorist Financing (CFT) requirements. Here is a simple guide to assist you in successfully completing business verification.

Process Overview

The KYC verification for business users includes the following parts:

1. Submission of Business Materials: You are required to provide basic information and relevant documents for your business.

2. Personal KYC Verification: After receiving the submission of business materials, UniPayment will notify the beneficiary to undergo personal KYC verification.

3. Business Verification: Business verification will proceed after the personal verification is passed.

Note: The beneficiary refers to an individual who has significant control or ownership interests in the business.

Important Notes:

Completion of Verification

You will receive notification of the verification results via email.

Once the submission of business materials, the personal KYC verification of the beneficiary, and the final business verification are completed, you have completed the KYC process for your business account. The MLRO department will now review your application. Typically, this review process takes 7-10 business days

If the beneficiary fails to pass the personal KYC verification, the business verification will not proceed, and the entire application will be rejected.

If you encounter any problems during the verification process, you can contact our customer service team at any time through the online chat system at the bottom right of the webpage or via our customer service email at [[email protected]].

Thank you for your cooperation. We look forward to providing you with secure and reliable service!
