  • Why do I need to verify my director’s and/or account administrator’s identity?

    Identity and business verification are required to use your Lama Business account.

     

    Identity verification is required by law to prevent fraud and to keep you safe from potential identity theft. This process is commonly known as ‘Know Your Customer’ (KYC) or ‘Customer Due Diligence’ (CDD).

     

    After opening a Lama business account, you can only use the services and features after we have established your identity via the Lama  Web-App by collecting personal information and verifying your official identity documents, such as passports and national identity cards, also your official business documents. See Lama’s privacy policy to see how we handle your data.

  • How does the verification process work?

    Lama is required by law to verify its customer’s identity and company records. Identity verification and screening are done through our service providers.  Although we do our best to provide the best service in our class, we are restricted by the speed and processing ability of our partners, who may sometimes experiences disruptions or delays. In such cases, we aim to provide status updates in our website to keep our customers informed. Personal information is processed by our partners according to our privacy policy.

  • My business account is not verified, what should I do?

    Please review all verification stages and requirement screen of anyone is pending or missing any actions from director/s, shareholder/s, or UBOs and have this updated.

    If all stages are completed, please note that business account verification can take up to 7 business days since you applied for a verification of your business account.

     

    If it has already been more than 7 business days and your account verification status has remained unchanged, please feel free to contact our business support team. Please have all information related to your account ready when you contact Lama business support at supportbusiness@mylama.eu.

  • Why has my account verification been rejected?

    Lama operates a regulated service and is required to establish and verify the identity of its customers before allowing access to its financial services. If your business account verification has been rejected and your account has been blocked, it may be that the information you submitted in the  Web-App did not pass the verification required to meet our regulatory compliance obligations. Under such circumstances, we will not be able to offer you access to our services.

  • How long does it take to verify my business account?

    We aim to have the business verification process completed as fast as possible – within a few minutes under normal circumstances, but it may also take up to seven (7) business days in some cases. In extreme cases where the throughput is large, i.e. when there is a surge in verifications, it may delay the automated process. In other cases, additional information may be required to complete the verification process. Our support team will reach out to you when such additional information is required for you to complete the verification process.

    You do not need to contact the Lama support team if it has only been less than 7 business days since you applied for a verification of your account.

  • The director/s, shareholder/s and/or UBOs did not receive the verification link on their email, what should I do?

    Please confirm the email address intended to receive the link is correctly spelled. If a mistake was made you can have it removed and re-entered with the correct information.

    If all information is correct, you can have the verification link resend to the desired email address, request them to check on their spam and junk mail folders if still not received in their primary inbox.

    Please note that company domain emails may have restrictions sometimes to receive external emails, in these cases, you will be required to get in contact with your company’s IT department for assistance and then resend the verification link.

     

  • Why is the Web-App not taking my company address/es?

    Kindly keep in mind that there is a character limit on each slot for your address. Therefore, you will need to make sure to add each section of your address in the correct slot when typing your address for your account verification.
