Initially, when you registered at IMEI Source, we did not require KYC verification. We required KYC because the objective of KYC is to prevent identity theft, terrorist financing, money laundering, and financial fraud. KYC allows us to understand the customer better and manage risks prudently.
Usually, we do not require KYC documents for old clients or any old merchant who has a valid identity online.
KYC documents are required for any registered client of IMEI Source in any country, just in case you are a new client of IMEI Source and if you want to use its services.
What do you mean, old clients or new clients?
We are glad to explain. For example, if you have been a registered client since 2013 and you have never dealt with low-volume funds or were inactive for a long period of time, we do not count you as an old user. So, KYC is required in this case.
