How to verify your account

As a licensed payment institution, Holvi works in a highly regulated sector. This means we need to collect specific information to help fight against financial crime. 

We act in accordance with the European Anti-Money Laundering Act to make sure all our customers are who they claim to be, and that their activity is 100% legal.

This way, you and your hard-earned money stay safe!

To sum up…

We verify you and your business to:

• Protect Holvi customers from fraud and losses
• Protect Holvi from any kind of criminal activity
• Protect other people, authorities and financial institutions in contact with Holvi and our customers

Estimated time: 5 minutes

We’ll ask you for…

• Your name and place of residence
• Company information (name, type, location)
• Email address and phone number
• Accept our T&Cs and Privacy Policy

Depending on where you live and what type of business you run, we’ll ask your for slightly different details later.

Estimated time: 15 minutes

This step is all about making sure it’s really you opening your account. To get started, download the Holvi app on your mobile device.
