Know Your Customer, or KYC for short, is the process of identifying and verifying a user's identity which helps to establish the legitimacy of an account. In addition to this, know your customer checks also helps us identify any potential threats when it comes to AML and/or fraud.
Step 1: Log In or Create Your Account
Access Your Account: Sign in to your Bombastic account or create a new one if you’re a first-time user.
Navigate: Head to your account
settings and select the "Verify" 
option to begin the KYC process.
Choose the level of verification:
We have 3 levels of verification implemented at the moment:
Level 1 refers to the user's personal details.
Level 2 refers to the user's identity and address documents.
Level 3 refers to the user's source of funds/ source of wealth documents.
Once a level has been verified, the "Verify Now" icon will disappear and will be marked with a "Check" sign <

Level 1 Verification:
This level of verification is very simple and straight forward as the user must fill in his personal details such as: Name, Surname, Address and Telephone Number.
