At Wirex, we take security seriously. That's why we require all our users to verify their accounts. But what does account verification mean and why is it necessary?
What is account verification?
Account verification is a process that confirms your identity and ensures that you are who you say you are. It involves submitting your personal information and supporting documents to us, which we use to verify your identity. Our verification process includes verifying your identity, address, and source of funds. In some cases, we may request additional information over email.

Verifying your account helps us protect your account from unauthorised access and fraud. By confirming your identity, we can ensure that only you have access to your account and your funds.
