KYC

KYC STATUSES:

  • MISSING DATA = the input was incomplete, not all required data / documents were submitted by the seller (e.g. they did not provide their full address or did not upload the bank statement)
  • IN PROGRESS = the KYC check is currently being carried out by Payaut - this status is temporary and will result in either ACTIVE or FAILED or REJECTED as explained above.
  • ACTIVE = the seller has passed KYC check successfully and is eligible for payouts - no further action is required from the seller or from the merchant
  • FAILED = the KYC check failed due to incorrect input/data (e.g. an expired document was uploaded or a blurry picture) - the seller can make corrections (e.g. submit a valid document or a better quality picture)
  • REJECTED = the input was complete and correct but the seller has not passed the KYC check - they were declined by Payaut as a customer (e.g. due to suspicion of fraud or money laundering)
