The Importance of Account Authentication

Greetings Deriv Community members :wink:

Account verification helps businesses verify the validity and ownership of clients’ details. This can be done due to regulatory requirements, to avoid errors or fraud.

An ID check ensures that there is a real person behind a process and proves that they are who they claim to be. This prevents anyone from carrying out a process on other people’s behalf without authorisation, creating false identities, or committing fraud.

Below are some of the importance of account authentication:

  1. Avoid costly fines
  2. Improve the company’s reputation
  3. Safeguard the security and privacy of data
  4. Avoid any possible fraud

Hope the above information is useful for everyone.

Your system has reset my verified documents. My account is 3 years old. Why are you asking me to verify my account when my old documents are still accurate e.g residential address has not changed.

I was prompted to verify my account which I initiated and my proof of identity has been verified but for my proof of address once I upload my account statement it shows “Your address cannot be changed”. Please how can this be resolved?
