KYC for users, investors and issuers
KYC is required for all users on the Verified Network. The amount of information required varies from regular users to investors and issuers.
Basic KYC requires application developers to collect identity and address proof of users and send them to the KYC Contract signed by the user's KYC Manager. KYC Manager is a role delegated to regulated financial service providers that are authorized to do KYC/AML checks such as AMLD5 in Europe. Photo and Video files need to be encrypted, stored in IPFS and a hash of the files sent to the KYC contract signed by the KYC Manager.
