Why do I need to provide proof of income?

At Sogexia, submitting proof of income is not just an administrative requirement but a key legal obligation. This ensures your account complies with regulations, particularly regarding the prevention of money laundering and the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT).

Legal compliance

As a payment institution, Sogexia is required to strictly adhere to European and national regulations to combat money laundering and terrorist financing. This includes the obligation to collect and verify proof of income from customers to ensure the legitimacy of their funds.

Consequences of failing to provide the required documents

If the requested documents are not provided within the specified timeframe, we will have to restrict access to certain features of your account. This could result in temporary suspension or even permanent closure, in line with legal requirements. It is essential to respond promptly to our requests to avoid these measures.

No discrimination

We want to emphasise that no discrimination is made based on the proof of income provided. Every document is treated confidentially, and its sole purpose is to ensure legal and regulatory compliance. Protecting our customers’ privacy is a priority, and your documents are used exclusively to meet our legal obligations.
