Biometric Verification Requirements for Transfers from New Zealand (NZD)

If you want to make a NZD transfer we will need to verify your details as part of the transfer process. All customers wishing to send NZD will be required to complete Biometric Verification. You will be guided through the two step process and just need to follow the prompts.  

What you will need

Technical Requirements

Biometric Verification will require you to have access to either;

  • A computer with a working web cam (on our web app) or
  • A mobile phone with a working camera to complete the process on our Android or iOS apps.

Identification (ID) Document

Biometric Verification will require you to have a valid ID document. You can use any passport and driver's license for select countries. When you select the issuing country of your document you will see a list of which documents are acceptable.
