Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to provide my passport or another ID?
To confirm your identity and protect both you and the ecosystem.
Who sees my data?
Your documents are processed only through Sumsub. Access is limited and protected under international standards. The 8lends team does not store or directly access your data.
