Why am I being asked to do a KYC verification?

At Remote, we take security and following the rules seriously. To keep everyone safe, we require all employees and contractors to complete a quick process called Know Your Customer (KYC).

Think of it as showing your ID when opening a bank account. This step helps us verify your identity and protects both Remote and our clients from any potential risks.

Here's why this step is important:

• Regulations: The ID verification is based on Remote's legal obligations regarding anti-money laundering (AML). The applicable AML regulations require Know Your Customer (KYC) verification, which complies with Articles 6(1)(c) and 9(2)(g) of GDPR.
• Security: By knowing who we're working with, we can help keep everyone's information safe.

Unfortunately, you can't skip this step. You can find more details about our data privacy practices in our Privacy Policy.
