Verification confirms that you, and only you, can access and manage your account. It's a one-time step designed to help add an extra layer of protection to your account and reduce the risk of identity misuse.

  • Upload a valid ID (government-issued ID, passport, or residence permit).

  • Take a clear selfie.

  • Confirm your personal details.

Yes. As a DFSA-regulated company, we are required to verify every customer before permitting deposits, withdrawals, or trading. This process forms an essential part of maintaining a compliant and trusted investing environment for all users.
