KYC & AML Policy

At Invest Globally, KYC verification involves gathering and validating essential information about you: your legal full name, birth date, country where you reside, communication details and your chosen funding source. We cross-reference the information submitted during account creation with the documentation you provide.

What we do not do

We do not ask for your online banking password, your full card PIN, or remote access to your device. No member of our team will ever request those. Any message that does is not from us and should be reported through the abuse form.

AML controls are broader than a one-off identity check. They cover risk classification of new accounts, sanctions and politically-exposed-person screening, limits on unusual funding patterns, record keeping, internal escalation of suspicious activity and, where the applicable law requires it, reporting to the competent authority.

Where AML rules and a client instruction conflict, the AML rules take priority. That can mean a delayed transaction, a request for additional documents, or a restricted account until the matter is resolved.

1. 01

   Legal obligation

   Financial institutions that manage or move client assets are typically obligated to perform client identification prior to service delivery. Such identification is mandatory and applies uniformly to all accounts.

2. 02

   Protecting your money

   Verification ties an account to one identifiable owner. It makes account takeover far harder, and it means withdrawals can only be sent back to a payment method proven to belong to you.

3. 03

   Keeping the platform clean

   Compliance screening prevents individuals under sanctions and shell entities without legitimate ownership from accessing the platform, thereby safeguarding all other account holders.

4. 04

   Faster payouts later

   An account verified up front does not have to stop for checks at withdrawal time, which is when delays are least welcome.

1. Identity document

A government-issued document that shows your photograph, full name, date of birth, document number and expiry date. Commonly accepted types are a passport, a national identity card, or a driving licence where it is issued as a photographic identity document. The document must be valid and not expired.

2. Proof of address

A current document, typically issued in recent months, containing your name and home address matching your account record. Common accepted forms include utility invoices, financial institution or payment card statements, local tax assessments or government letters from an official body. Private mail facilities and third-party addresses cannot be submitted.

3. Proof of payment method

Evidence that the funding instrument belongs to you. For a card, that is normally an image of the card showing your name, the first six and last four digits and the expiry date, with the remaining digits and the security code covered. For a transfer from a bank account, that is a statement or confirmation in your name showing the account identifier. For an electronic wallet, a screenshot of the account profile showing your name and the account identifier.

Formats and file size

The verification section of your account displays submission limits, supported formats and any supplementary document requirements. Should documents be presented in a different language than your account's designated language, translation may be necessary; our compliance staff will notify you accordingly.

1. 01

   Register

   Create the account with your real legal name, date of birth, country of residence, email and phone number. Details that do not match your documents are the most common cause of delay.

2. 02

   Confirm contact details

   Validate your email address and, when applicable, your mobile number. This authentication confirms these communication methods are under your control.

3. 03

   Upload your identity document

   Upload the pages that carry your photograph and personal data. Some checks include a short liveness or selfie step to confirm the document belongs to the person holding it.

4. 04

   Upload proof of address

   Upload a recent qualifying document in your name at the address on file.

5. 05

   Confirm the payment method

   Submit documentation confirming the payment method for funding your account and receiving withdrawal amounts.

6. 06

   Screening and review

   Your file is examined by our compliance personnel, who execute mandatory sanctions and risk assessments, after which the account receives approval or requests modification.

7. 07

   Confirmation

   You receive a notification once the account status changes. The current status is always visible in the verification area of your account.

Review times depend on volume, on the quality of the uploads and on whether any additional screening is triggered. The processing window that applies to your account, together with the current status of each document, is shown in your account area - that published figure is the one to rely on, not any figure quoted elsewhere.

• Clear, complete, unedited uploads are reviewed fastest.
• Requests submitted outside business hours are queued for the next working day.
• Enhanced review, where required, adds time and is communicated to you.

If a decision is unclear to you, contact support and ask for the reason. Where the law permits us to explain, we will.

What is monitored

Account activity patterns, sources of funds, modifications to funding methods, shifts in country or communication information, actions inconsistent with your initial profile, and activities identified through our risk systems.

What can happen as a result

• Request for current documentation or clarification regarding fund origins.
• A temporary hold on a specific transaction while it is reviewed.
• Modification of account-specific transaction thresholds.
• Restriction or closure of the account where the law requires it.

Records

Customer identification details and transaction histories are preserved according to legal requirements following relationship termination and are managed according to our Privacy Policy. Under specific legal circumstances, notification of a report to you may be prohibited.

• Give accurate, current and complete information, and keep it up to date.
• Use only your own funds and your own payment instruments - never someone else's.
• Keep one account only, and keep your credentials private.
• Furnish requested documentation within the specified deadline provided.
• Tell us promptly if you change country of residence, legal name or payment method.
• Notify us without delay if you detect any unauthorized attempts to access your account.

Submitting falsified or altered documents is a serious matter. It leads to closure of the account and, where applicable law requires, notification of the competent authority.
