# Know Your Customer (KYC)

> How Hello Clever’s KYC process verifies consumer identities, why beneficiary bank accounts must be your own, and how our KYC providers keep your information safe.

Security and compliance are a top priority at Hello Clever. To keep the platform safe and trusted, every consumer completes a thorough **Know Your Customer (KYC) process** that verifies identities, protects against fraud, and meets regulatory standards. This page covers the KYC requirements for consumer users, the beneficiary bank account rules, how we work with secure KYC providers, and how the process benefits you.

<Note>
  All consumers must complete KYC to use the Hello Clever app. Verifying that each user is who they say they are keeps the experience safe for everyone on the platform.
