Overview

To ensure a smooth and successful verification process with Cedar, it's important to follow a few key steps. Proper verification is crucial for complying with regulatory requirements and ensuring the security of your account. Here’s how you can help streamline the process:

1. Ensure Consistency in Your Business and Bank Account Name

  • The name on your bank account must match the legal name of your business to avoid delays.

2. For Nigerian Businesses

  • The BVN name (Bank Verification Number) must match the name on your valid ID and bank account. This ensures consistency across all your records.

3. Provide Accurate and Original Documents

  • Use the correct identity numbers for verification, and provide original copies of your ID and business registration documents.

  • Ensure that all documents are current, clear, and fully legible.

4. Photographs of Documents

  • Submit photographs of documents taken in a well-lit setting.

  • Avoid using previously saved images; fresh images help ensure clarity and authenticity.

5. ID Verification

  • For full verification, submit both the front and back of your ID.

  • Place the ID on a contrasting surface (e.g., a dark background for light-colored IDs) to enhance clarity.

6. Verification of Business Directors

  • Each business director must complete a separate verification process.

  • Each director will receive a separate email with instructions to complete their part of the verification.
