1. INTRODUCTION
WeMasterTrade LTD and WeCopy Fintech Inc. ("the Companies") are committed to verifying the identity of all users to prevent fraud, financial crime, and misuse of our services. This KYC Policy outlines our identity verification procedures, aligned with FATF standards, PCMLTFA (Canada), and applicable data protection laws including GDPR.
KYC completion is mandatory. No user may access either platform without completing the required verification.
2. VERIFICATION PROCESS
Identity verification is performed through Sumsub, a regulated third-party identity verification provider. The process is automated, encrypted, and includes:
• Document authenticity and expiry verification
• Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to extract and verify ID data
• Liveness detection and biometric face matching
• PEP and sanctions screening
• IP geolocation and device checks
Verification is typically completed within minutes. Where manual review is required, users will be notified of the expected timeframe.
3. REQUIRED DOCUMENTS
All users must provide the following:
Standard Verification (all users)
• Government-issued photo ID — passport, national ID, or driver's licence (valid, unexpired)
• Proof of address — utility bill, bank statement, or government correspondence (issued within 3 months)
• Live selfie for biometric face matching
• Email verification
Enhanced Verification (high-risk users)
Required in addition to standard verification for Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs), users from elevated-risk jurisdictions, or accounts with unusual activity:
• Proof of address — utility bill, bank statement, or government correspondence (issued within 3 months)
• Source of funds declaration and supporting documentation
4. USER ACCESS
Users who do not complete KYC, or whose verification is unsuccessful, will not be permitted to access platform services. The Companies reserve the right to:
• Request additional documentation at any time
• Suspend or terminate accounts where verification concerns arise
• Reject users without obligation to provide a reason
Appeals may be submitted to [email protected] within 14 days of a rejection decision.
5. RESTRICTED JURISDICTIONS
The Companies do not onboard users from sanctioned or high-risk countries. Access is enforced through IP-based geofencing and identity verification controls. The full list of restricted jurisdictions is published at: Who Can Sign Up ?
6. DATA SECURITY AND PRIVACY
All personal data and documents submitted during KYC are:
• Encrypted in transit and at rest
• Processed by Sumsub under a regulated Data Processing Agreement
• Retained for a minimum of 5 years in accordance with applicable law
• Accessible only to authorised personnel
The Companies do not directly store raw KYC documents. Users have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of their personal data, subject to applicable legal requirements. Please contact us at [email protected]
