MegaPari KYC & AML Policy

Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) standards guide identity check, ID verification, and document submission to protect users and the platform in Kenya. MegaPari applies security measures that safeguard personal data, promote transparency, and support user safety in line with local regulatory requirements. This policy aligns with Kenya's Proceeds of Crime and Anti-Money Laundering Act (POCAMLA), the Prevention of Terrorism Act, guidance from the Financial Reporting Centre (FRC), and the Betting Control and Licensing Board (BCLB).

Purpose of KYC & AML

These controls verify identity, prevent fraud, and combat financial crime across deposits and withdrawals. They also strengthen account protection and meet regulatory requirements in Kenya.

  • Fair play based on verified account holder status
  • User safety through robust security measures
  • Transparency in how personal data is used for ID verification
  • Compliance with Kenyan reporting obligations and licensing rules

KYC Requirements

Every new user must complete identity verification before accessing key features or withdrawals. Additional checks may be required at any time to keep information accurate and current.

  • Government-issued photo identification for identity check
  • Proof of residential address for document submission
  • Confirmation that the payment method belongs to the account holder
