Customer and Identity Verification Policy

What is the Know Your Customer (KYC) program?

Zool Express's KYC program ensures a trusted marketplace for all users by confirming customer identity through documentation collection. This helps to prevent fraud, money laundering, and the financing of terrorism.

We believe that KYC is a requirement that ensures a safer and secure online workplace for all Zool Express members. In addition, several of our service providers, such as our payment gateway providers require us to perform certain checks on customer identity.

How do I complete KYC to verify my identity?

You can become Zool Express Verified by submitting a valid government-issued ID card and 2 recent utility bills or bank statements or 1 of each. 


What if the details on my account do not match the name on my ID or documentation?

The details registered on your Zool Express account must match the name on your documentation. You will be asked to confirm your details during the verification process before submitting them for review.

What happens if I'm not able to pass KYC?

If you are unable to become Zool Express Verified, Zool Express may place an account limitation or suspend your account as a security measure.

Falsifying your identity is a crime. Zool Express may report users that provide false documentation.

ID Verification

Sellers are encouraged to verify their identity to market themselves to potential Buyers as trusted members of our Zool Express community. Users that verify their identity also benefit by receiving faster processing of their payments and faster resolution of account issues and disputes.

Verification may be completed by users at any time, but Zool Express may also request users to verify their identity to uphold our User Agreement.

To become Zool Express Verified we require you to provide:

  • Proof of identity by submitting a Government-issued photo ID.
  • Proof of address by submitting two different copies of a recent utility bill, such as an electric, gas, water or phone bill, or a recent bank statement.

To verify your identity, complete the following steps:

Step 1 - Proof of identity

  • Confirm your account details are up to date (Go to Profile > Settings > Account Details).
  • Click the Verify my Identity link from your Account Details page.
  • Confirm your name and date of birth and upload a color scan of your current government-issued photo ID as proof of identity (see accepted IDs below).
  • Enter the ID type, the name on the ID, ID number, and expiration date and press Save and Continue.

Step 2 - Proof of address

  • Confirm your address and enter your preferred contact phone number. If you haven't already set up a Security Phone Number, you will be sent a unique code to verify this number.
  • Upload a color scan of two different utility bills or bank statements as proof of residential address (see accepted documentation below).
  • Fill in the institution's name, documentation type, and the date it was issued.
  • Press the Complete. Submit for Review button to have our Verification team review your request.

The Zool Express Verification Team will review your request. This can take up to 2-3 business days and you will be notified when the review process is complete.
