Review KYC Doument

Accessing Submitted Documents

  1. Go to Requests in the main sidebar under Customer.
  2. Filter Verification requests from Type. You will see a list of all submitted documents.
  3. Use the Status filter to show only documents with a Pending status.

Reviewing a Document

  1. Click on a document row to expand it. This will show:

    • Customer name and ID.
    • Document type (e.g., Passport, Utility Bill).
    • Date of submission.
    • Thumbnails of the uploaded files.
  2. Click on the thumbnails to open a larger view and inspect the document for:

    • Clarity: Is the image clear and all text readable?
    • Validity: Is the document current and not expired?
    • Authenticity: Does the document appear genuine?
    • Matching Information: Does the name and address match the customer's registered profile?

Making a Decision

After review, you have two options:

Approve the Document

  • Click the Approve button.
  • The customer's KYC status will be updated, potentially moving them to the next Onboarding Stage.
  • They may gain access to more features (e.g., higher withdrawal limits).

Reject the Document

  • Click the Reject button.
  • You must select a reason for rejection from the list configured in TR Settings > Resolutions.
  • Add a clear note for the customer (e.g., "The provided utility bill is too blurry to read the address. Please upload a clearer copy.").
  • The customer will be notified to upload a new document.

Next Steps

  • Approved documents are archived and can be filtered by Approved status for auditing.
  • Rejected documents remain in the system with the reason for rejection noted.
