# KYC Information

KYC (Know Your Customer) is the process of verifying a client’s identity, used by banks, financial services, and crypto exchanges to prevent fraud and money laundering. It includes document verification, biometric identification, and risk assessment.

In Wanttopay, verification is conducted through the international service Sumsub.

#### Why Do You Need to Pass Verification?

Verification (KYC) in Wanttopay is required in two main cases:

1. To issue a Pro card with contactless payment (NFC) — verification is mandatory.
2. To use a card for payments on certain services that require the card to be issued to a verified user.

#### How to Pass Verification in Wanttopay

You can complete verification directly inside the Wanttopay mini-app in Telegram:

1. Open the mini-app [@WanttopayBot](https://t.me/WanttopayBot)
2. Go to the Settings section
3. Click Pass verification
4. In the window that opens, next to verify identity, you will see a question mark (?).

   If you click it, a KYC instructions guide on our information portal will open.
5. Click Start, enter your details, and follow Sumsub’s instructions — upload documents and take a photo for identity verification.
