Proof of Address

As part of 1Money’s onboarding and ongoing compliance processes, we may need to verify the physical address of a business or an individual. Proof of address is used to confirm residency, operational presence, and the consistency of information provided.

Proof of address may be required in the following circumstances:

  • To verify the residential address of key individuals, including Ultimate Beneficial Owners, Persons with Significant Control, Authorized Persons, and, for non-U.S. entities, Directors
  • To verify the registered or operating address of a business
  • Where additional verification is required to complete onboarding or support an ongoing or periodic review

Business - POA Requirements

Business proof of address documents must:

  • Confirm the current registered or operating address
  • Be issued in the legal name of the business

Registered Agent Addresses Where a registered agent address is used, we may request additional confirmation, such as a registered agent letter or mail-handling agreement.
