Step by step
- 1
Open Identity verification
From the dashboard banner or the account menu, open KYC. You'll see one card per required document.
- 2
Upload your government ID
Add a clear photo of the front, then the back. NIN slip, driver's licence, voter's card or passport data page all work.
Tip: Shoot in daylight, flat on a dark surface, with all four corners visible and no glare.
- 3
Add proof of address
A utility bill, bank statement or tenancy agreement dated within the last 3 months, showing your name and address.
- 4
Take a selfie
Hold your ID beside your face. This is matched against the document you uploaded.
- 5
Submit and track status
Status moves Pending → Approved or Rejected. Approval is usually same business day; you'll see the status on your dashboard.
Questions
Why is KYC required before I buy?
Pledges and purchases are blocked until your identity is approved — that's what keeps the cap table clean and lets us pay you out legally.
What if a document is rejected?
The rejection reason is shown on the card. Re-upload a clearer or more recent document; there's no penalty for retrying.
