  • On a case-by-case basis, Partial KYC may be performed with the bank statement as a pending item if the merchant has just opened a bank account and does not yet have a statement. This is subject to Compliance approval.
  • Additional documents may be requested based on risk assessment. High-risk merchants may need to provide source of wealth/funds documents (e.g., audited financial statements, 3–6 months of bank statements) as part of Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD).
