What are the Required KYC and KYB documents for Italy, Spain and Germany?

To open a payment account within Lemonway, the applicant must provide their identification documents so that they can be verified by Lemonway. To update a payment account to KYC2 status (verified clients so transactions can be made to that account), such documents shall be uploaded to the relevant payment account and reviewed by our KYC experts.

Upload documents into a payment account, with a file size smaller than 10 MB. For security reasons, only these document types are accepted: PDF, JPG, JPEG et PNG. Refrain from using TIFF and prefer PDF. Also, if you want your ID documents to be processed automatically, they need to be below 6 MB.

 

In the following tables, you can find the required documents for KYC for applicants in Italy, Spain, and Germany. The information in the table below is in the language of your clients.
