Verification Basics
Identity Verification is a requirement for all organizations and legal representatives.
Registration for Philantro includes two steps. First, the person representing the organization registering themselves and second, the registered person registering the organization. To comply with applicable Know-Your-Customer (KYC) regulations, the person creating the account and/or legal representative and the organization itself must be verified by its respective regulatory agency. In the rare event verification fails, more information may be required to ensure a successful registration.
Per usual, all information is relayed over 256-Bit SSL per contemporary security standards.
