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.

- 📝 Prepare any requested documents promptly to avoid delays
- 📎 Ensure all files are clear, complete, and up-to-date
