Step by Step guide to complete your KYC in Riverpay App

Updated over 3 weeks ago

As a financial institution, Riverpay must perform checks on users who want to transact using fiat currencies (USD, SGD, EUR, GBP etc.). Riverpay users who only want to transact in digital assets and don't want to send funds to banks are NOT REQUIRED to perform any KYC.

The KYC process is the following:

Information about you:

In this step, we require you to provide up-to-date information about yourself, your nationality, and your current legal residency. Please make sure you have supporting documents against the information you provide us.

Your email and contact number must be active and match the data you are providing us.

Information about your residency:

Provide the current address of your residency in this section. Make sure you are providing up-to-date and accurate information about your address that is supported by a valid proof of address document. What is a valid document? We will talk about that later in this article.

It is vital to put the correct postal code and state information.

Upload ID Document:

If you upload a National ID, please upload the front and back parts separately. Please don't combine both in a PDF file.

We need a valid document that shows your current address. Make sure your full legal name and full address are visible on the document.

Your ID document, such as a Passport, National ID, Residence Permit, or driver's License, is NOT accepted as Proof of Address. Please do not upload it, as it will limit your upload attempts.
