KYC Policy

Our KYC Verification Policy

What is the Know Your Customer (KYC) program?

Locknkey's KYC program ensures a trusted marketplace for all users by confirming customer identity through documentation collection. This helps to prevent fraud, money laundering, and the financing of terrorism.

We believe that KYC is a requirement that ensures a safer and secure online workplace for all Locknkey members. In addition, several of our service providers, such as our payment gateway providers require us to perform certain checks on customer identity.

How do I complete KYC to verify my identity?

You can become Verified by Locknkey by submitting a valid government-issued ID card, and 2 recent utility bills or bank statements or 1 of each.

What if the details on my account do not match the name on my ID or documentation?

The details registered on your Locknkey account must match the name on your documentation. You will be asked to confirm your details during the verification process before submitting them for review.

What happens if I'm not able to pass KYC?

If you are unable to become Verified by Locknkey, Locknkey may place an account limitation or suspend your account as a security measure.

Falsifying your identity is a crime. Locknkey may report users that provide false documentation.

ID Verification

Sellers are encouraged to verify their identity to market themselves to potential Buyers as trusted members of our Locknkey community. Users that verify their identity also benefit by receiving faster processing of their payments and faster resolution of account issues and disputes.

Verification may be completed by users at any time, but Locknkey may also request users verify their identity to uphold our User Agreement.
