Enhanced Due Diligence

Additional verification checks applied to higher-risk business profiles during onboarding.

Some businesses may be subject to Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) during the verification process. EDD is a deeper review process designed to meet regulatory requirements and assess higher-risk business profiles more thoroughly.

This is a standard practice for financial institutions and helps ensure the safety and integrity of PayMongo's platform and partners.

When Is EDD Required?

EDD may be triggered based on factors such as:

  • The nature of your business (e.g. certain restricted categories)
  • Ownership structure or country of registration
  • Unusual or incomplete documentation during onboarding
What to Expect?

If EDD is required, you may be asked to submit additional documents, such as:

  • Proof of source of funds
  • Ownership disclosures or corporate structure charts
  • Additional ID, Secondary licenses, or business activity verification
  • Clarifications about how your business operates
📌

If your business is flagged for EDD, our team will contact you directly and explain any additional requirements.
