To comply with UK financial regulations, we’re required to verify your identity before activating your card. This helps prevent fraud, protect your account, and ensure we meet legal obligations under anti-money laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) guidelines.
As part of this process, you’ll need to provide your full legal name, current residential address and date of birth. In most cases, this process is fast and only takes a few minutes.
Sometimes, we additional documentation, such as:
- A valid government-issued photo ID (e.g. passport or driving licence)
- A selfie or live photo to confirm your identity
Your information is handled securely and in accordance with data protection laws.
