To ensure a safe and compliant experience on BlindPay, we need to understand how the funds used on the platform are generated and how your business or its owners originally built their wealth. This helps us apply the right compliance checks and configure your account correctly.
What's the Difference?
- Source of Funds describes how the funds you'll use on BlindPay are generated. For example: operating revenue, customer payments, or investment capital.
- Source of Wealth describes how the business or its owners originally accumulated their overall wealth. For example: business earnings, prior ventures, or long-term investments.
Both may be requested during onboarding or as part of an ongoing review.
When Is This Required?
We may ask for source of funds or source of wealth documentation in the following situations:
- Your account is subject to enhanced due diligence based on a risk assessment
- Your funding sources need additional validation, such as high transaction volumes or complex funding structures
- There are significant changes in your expected activity, ownership, or business model
- Additional verification is needed to meet regulatory or compliance obligations
If documentation is required, we'll let you know clearly during onboarding or through a follow-up request.
Acceptable Documentation
The documents you provide should clearly show where the funds come from, how they were generated, and how they will be transferred to BlindPay. Everything should align with your declared business activities.
