Bridge is updating the KYC/KYB information you are required to collect from EEA customers during onboarding starting June 15th. Please review this link to start preparing for these changes now if you are using or plan to use the Customer API.

Onboarding Requirements

Bridge requires the following information for standard individual onboarding:
  • First and last name
  • Country
  • Street address
  • City
  • Postal code
  • Province / State
  • Country
  • Date of birth
  • Email
  • National identity number (required for non-Usa residents)
  • Social Security number (required only for Usa residents)
  • ID verification (optional for US residents with minimal payment activity)
  • Proof of address
    • Required when conflicting location signals are detected such as a photo ID from prohibited/controlled region
For residents of the United States of America, end customers verified via database checks without a photo ID can transact up to $10,000 per transaction or $100,000 lifetime. Once those thresholds are exceeded, photo ID verification will be required.

Enhanced Individual Onboarding Requirements

For high risk populations (i.e. resident of high risk region or a person 60 years or older) and/or high volume transactors, Bridge collects information about the individual customer’s source of funds and expected use:
  • Occupation
  • Employment status
  • Source of funds
  • Primary purpose of the account
  • Expected monthly amounts to be sent or received
  • Intermediary status (“Are you receiving or sending funds on behalf of someone other than yourself?”)
In rare cases, Bridge may request additional information during the onboarding process.

In addition to the items listed in the table below:
