Why do we have to control and verify your identity
Due to government regulations, banks are required to comply with the customer due diligence standards.
Banks are obliged to identify and know their customers. The identity of the customer must be controlled by verifying the customer’s official identity documents. The bank also must ascertain sufficient information on the customer’s activities, so as to confirm where incoming money originates from and the purported use of the banking relationship
