Who Is Required to Complete Personal Identity Verification (KYC)?

In Humi, any user whose role permissions allow them to run payroll and initiate the digital movement of funds must be verified. This includes all users with the default Admin role, and any other custom roles with Payroll access enabled.

Does My Company Have to Complete Business Details Verification (KYB)?

If your company has Humi’s Payroll module enabled, then you are required to complete the KYB process from your account through Persona. Any user with the default Admin role can complete this process, but it recommended that the Signing Officer do so.

What Do I Need for KYC?

To verify your identity and complete the process, you’ll need the following:

  1. Government-issued photo ID (passport, driver's license, or provincial identity card)
  2. Be prepared to take a few selfies (webcam or mobile device)

That’s it! This process in Persona should take you about 5 minutes to complete. If completed successfully, your identity will be verified within 1-3 business days. Learn more.
