Know Your Customer (KYC)

Expectations regarding KYC and how Apto provides support

Provided that there are no issues, KYC is processed/approved almost instantly.

If a user has provided information that is incorrect or was entered incorrectly, our Cardholder Support team will reach out to request supporting documentation in order to verify their identity. 

If a user has been rejected by our automatic KYC process;

  1. Apto's Cardholder Support will alert the cardholder via e-mail.
  2. This e-mail will notify the user that additional information is required to review their application process.
  3. Once the user responds with requested documentation, Cardholder Support will manually update the user's information (if required) and manually pass the cardholder. 

If in the event the cardholder is unable to provide further information, documentation, or the information they've provided cannot be verified, they will continue to stay rejected.
