Articles on: Verifying Your Identity

Why do I need to provide a selfie and personal ID to open an Upside Account?

Where you are requested to provide a selfie and copy of your Passport or Driving License, is because we could not verify the personal information provided during registration.
We need to verify your details for the following reasons:

To meet UK Banking and Financial Conduct Authority (FCA**) regulations

To prevent identity theft and/or misuse of your personal information

To ensure you meet our eligibility criteria

To check if any international sanctions prevent you from having an account with us


Please read the Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy if you require any further detailed information
