Why nsave Asks for Documents

Why nsave asks for documents and how verification keeps your account safe.

Updated this week

Verification That Protects You — Not Just nsave

The Short Answer

nsave asks for documents because we’re required to follow global financial regulations designed to protect you from fraud, scams, and financial crime.

Every licensed financial institution — from traditional banks to fintechs — follows these same rules.


The Two Rules Every Financial Institution Must Follow

Know Your Customer (KYC)

This confirms that you are who you say you are.

Anti-Money Laundering (AML)

This ensures that money moving through the system comes from legitimate sources.

By following these standards, nsave helps keep your account — and the wider financial system — safe.


What We Verify (And Why)

Your Identity

  • Confirms your identity

  • Prevents impersonation and account takeover

  • Checked against official issuing authorities

Your Address

  • Required for regulatory reasons

  • Helps reduce fraud

  • Usually must be recent (utility bill, lease, or government document)

Your Source of Wealth

  • Shows where your money comes from

  • Confirms funds are legitimate

Important to know:
Your account is reviewed based on income sources and transaction behaviour, not your nationality or country of residence.
