Learn about how and why your identity is verified when you open a Zilch account

Updated over a week ago

We want to keep you and your money safe, so when you sign up to Zilch, we’ll go through a couple of security stages to verify your identity.

How does Zilch verify identity?

When you sign up to Zilch, you’ll be asked to share a valid form of government-issued ID, such as a passport or driving licence. We’ll use this to verify your identity.

How long does the Zilch verification process take?

Once we receive your proof of ID, verification usually takes up to five business days. During busy periods, it might take a bit longer.

If our verification team needs more information, they’ll be in touch. We’ll update you once the verification process is complete, so you can get shopping with Zilch (and start earning those Rewards).
