We know that sharing our personal data when we sign up on an app can be bothersome and even feel intrusive, especially when it’s related to a KYC (Know Your Customer) registration process in which we have to provide pictures of our ID and a selfie, such as what happens in 2gether.

That’s why we wanted to share with you why the KYC is so important, both for us and for you.

The KYC makes it possible to verify our identity, meaning that it helps ensure that we really are who we say we are and that no one else is trying to impersonate us to use 2gether. This helps us fight against corruption and fraud and, most importantly, that way we can protect our users from both.

The KYC registration process is a legal requirement by the fourth European directive against money laundering, but we don’t use it only to follow the law. Offering a safe user experience on the 2gether app is, for us, an essential priority.

On one hand, this verification includes a formal identification by producing a valid ID or passport, and on the other hand, a real identification, that is to say, knowing at all times who is really the person who’s creating an account on 2gether

Everything we do is to ensure your security on 2gether, because that is the most important thing for us, and we’re sure that it is for you too.

We hope that if you had any doubts about 2gether’s registration process, this information has helped you see it from a different perspective. However, we would understand if you had any other questions, and we will be happy to assist you via social media.
