Evidence of Identity and Anti Money Laundering
Thirdfort provides a secure app based solution that allows clients to remotely verify their identity, taking away the need for you to bring in or send in original ID documents. The app is available on both IOS/Android smartphones and tablets and should take you no longer than 3-4 minutes.
For more information about how the app works, please see the Thirdfort ID App Leaflet. Should you have any further questions you can contact the Thirdfort support team via any of the below channels:
- In app live chat
- help@thirdfort.com
- 0161 768 0083
You will a receive a text message invite to download and complete your Thirdfort checks. If you have not already provided your mobile number, please let us have it so that we can send you the necessary link.
For property transactions, you will require your passport to complete the verification checks, please ensure that you have this to hand. If you do not have a passport, please contact us before you attempt the verification process.
If for whatever reason you encounter any difficulty with this then it remains an option for you to provide us with paper based original forms of identification in which case the following provisions will apply;
- You must provide us with TWO original forms of identification in person that we can make copies of, or you can provide us with copies that have been certified by an accountable person, such as your bank or building society, accountant or doctor.
- If you have not lived at your current address for 12 months, please provide us with details of your previous address.
- Please see the list below for acceptable documents.
Recognising our statutory obligations to carry out these identification checks we will make a charge of £25 plus VAT for each verification carried out whether by Thirdfort or on a paper basis.
If we are not satisfied as to your identity, we have the right to cancel the Contract immediately on giving written notice to you.
