When you get to this step you are opening an account, just as you would with a Bank. We are authorised to hold your money and therefore have to comply with stringent Financial Regulations. 

As a regulated financial services institution, we’re required to verify the identity of each investor on Seedrs. This ensures we’re compliant with Anti Money Laundering and Financial Crime regulations.

The process of verifying your identity may vary depending on various factors. We may ask you to provide official ID documents, proof of address documents and source of funds declarations.
