Updated this week

ABOUT CARDTONIC IDENTITY VERIFICATION (KYC)

Cardtonic KYC is the process of validating a user's identity and identifying risk factors.

KYC is required for compliance purposes, to increase your withdrawal limit, and to have access to more features, e.g., a virtual bank account.

It must be mentioned that your KYC information is not shared and is 100% secure.


How Do I Verify My Basic and Advanced KYC?

The process is simple and straightforward.

Basic KYC Verification

To verify your Basic KYC, we require your BVN (Bank Verification Number) as part of our Know Your Customer process. This is used solely to match your BVN with your correct name and date of birth.

Steps to follow:

  1. Tap the “Settings” icon at the bottom of your dashboard.

  2. Select “Identity Verification.”

  3. Enter your correct date of birth and BVN.

  4. Take a clear selfie.

  5. Tap “Verify your KYC.”

That’s it—super easy! 😊


Advanced KYC Verification

To verify your Advanced KYC, you’ll need to upload additional documents.

Steps to follow:

  1. Tap the “Settings” icon at the bottom of your dashboard.

  2. Select “Identity Verification.”

  3. Upload one valid government-issued ID:

    • International Passport

    • Driver’s License

    • Voter’s Card

    • NIN Slip

  4. Upload a proof of address, such as:

    • Electricity bill

    • LAWMA bill
