Every trader must complete KYC right after purchase. Until you pass KYC and sign the Trader Agreement, your account will show “Trading Disabled.”
Why we use Sumsub (third-party verification):
Security & accuracy – Bank-grade document forensics, biometric checks, and fraud detection.
Global coverage – Faster verification across multiple countries and document types.
Compliance & audit trail – Robust sanctions/PEP screening and logs for regulatory evidence.
Data minimisation – Sensitive identity checks are handled by a specialist provider, reducing what Finotive needs to process directly.
What you’ll usually do (standard KYC):
Open the KYC flow in your Dashboard immediately after purchase.
Scan your government ID (passport, national ID, or driver’s licence).
Complete a quick liveness/face match.
Sign the Trader Agreement digitally.
Once approved, Trading Disabled is lifted and your account becomes active.
Typical timelines:
Most verifications complete within minutes.
If a manual review is needed, we aim to finish within 24 hours.
Enhanced checks (rare):
In some cases, our system may require Enhanced KYC. This can include:
Proof of address (dated within the last 3 months), and/or
A short video interview with compliance.
When do enhanced checks happen?
Mainly triggered by trading activity that requires legitimacy checks (e.g. unusually high volume, risk flags, or payout patterns).
Can also occur if documents don’t pass automated verification or if sanctions/PEP checks raise alerts.
Good to know:
Standard flow does not require proof of address — it’s only requested in Enhanced KYC.
You only need to complete KYC once per profile, unless regulations or your personal details change.
KYC must be completed before you can trade or receive any payouts.
