Who is Transak?

Transak is a crucial partner of Azasend, specializing in handling fiat transactions. They provide a seamless bridge between traditional financial systems and the digital asset world, allowing users to buy and sell cryptocurrencies effortlessly using their local currency.

Why Do They Require Document Verification?

Transak requires document verification for several important reasons:

1. Security:

  • Protecting Your Assets: Document verification ensures that your account is secure and that only you can access it. This prevents unauthorized access and safeguards your funds from potential fraud.

2. Compliance with Regulations:

  • Adhering to Laws: Financial regulations worldwide mandate platforms like Transak to verify users' identities. This process, known as Know Your Customer (KYC), helps prevent illegal activities such as money laundering, terrorist financing, and fraud.

3. Building Trust:

  • Reliable Service: Verification builds trust between the platform and its users. Knowing that Transak takes security and compliance seriously gives users confidence in using their services for financial transactions.

4. PreventFraudraud:

  • Ensuring Authenticity: By verifying documents, Transak can confirm that the information provided is genuine and that the user is who they claim to be. This helps create a safer environment for all users.

5. Enhancing User Experience:

  • Smooth Transactions: Verified accounts often experience faster and smoother transactions. Verification helps reduce the likelihood of delays or issues, making your experience more enjoyable.

By partnering with Transak, Azasend ensures that all fiat transactions are handled securely and in compliance with global financial regulations. This partnership leverages Transak's expertise to provide a seamless, secure, and reliable service for all Azasend users.

Note: Users with Nigerian documents cannot use the fiat-to-fiat flow on Azasend because Transak has banned Naira transactions.
