Investment App HeyTrade Teams Up With Veriff For Identity Verification

HeyTrade’s aim is to facilitate investing to all traders eliminating high fees, limited market access and complex paperwork. Veriff will be providing face and document recognition technology to speed up the onboarding process for HeyTrade customers.

HeyTrade, the new full-fledged investing platform, is partnering with Veriff, the global identity verification provider ensuring compliance and security. The app makes the process between sign-up and investing straightforward and simple, and Veriff adds an extra layer of security while accelerating onboarding.

Using a simple yet sophisticated mobile platform, HeyTrade is challenging banks and brokers on investing accessibility, user experience and costs. HeyTrade is launching in Spain in June and will be available in other markets soon after.

By integrating Veriff, HeyTrade clients can validate the authenticity of their identity by simply taking a photograph of their government-issued ID and a selfie. Veriff checks that the ID is genuine and then matches it to the user’s face. This process checks that the person is legitimate and ready to start investing through the app. It takes less than 5 minutes to create an account and begin trading.
