Ability to mark a customer’s address as “Verified”

As part of the Know Your Customer (KYC) process, you may need to manually verify a customer’s address. This is useful when a customer’s proof of address document has been reviewed and confirmed, and you need to update their verification status accordingly.

This guide shows you how to manually set a customer’s address verification status to Verified on the admin console.

Before you begin

  • Ensure you have the necessary admin permissions to update customer KYC information.
  • Have your two-factor authentication (2FA) method ready, as this action requires an extra layer of security.
