What is Identity Verification?


Identity Verification is the process of collecting your information and verifying your identity in order for Fiant to comply with regulatory requirements.



Why do I have to complete Identity Verification, and what happens if I don't?


As a regulated financial institution, Fiant must collect and verify customer information when accounts are opened, certain transactions are conducted, or specific regulatory thresholds are met. We may also request identity information to satisfy other requirements, such as collecting W-9 tax information.

As part of the identity verification process, you may be asked to provide current and accurate information, including but not limited to:

  • Full legal name

  • Residential street address (P.O. boxes are not accepted)

  • Date of birth

  • Driver's license or other government-issued identification

  • Social Security Number (SSN) or Tax Identification Number (TIN) for U.S. residents

We use trusted third-party databases to verify the information you provide. In some cases, we may request additional documentation or information to complete the verification process.

The information you provide will be used solely for identity verification purposes. For more information about the data we collect and how we protect it, please refer to our Privacy Notice.

If you do not provide the requested information, or if we are unable to verify your identity, we may be unable to process your transactions and may be required to restrict or close your account.
