To use your Barion Wallet without limits, you need to complete the video identification process. This article explains the steps required before you can start the video identification.
Complete the following steps in your browser after signing in to your Barion Wallet under Business Profile.
- Check your organization's details. If you find any errors, you can edit them before completing the identification process.
- Check the representative's details. If you find any errors, you can edit them before completing the identification process.
- Ownership structure
- Complete the Ownership Structure section by selecting the option "One or several owners own or control more than 25%". You can add multiple beneficial owners by clicking the green "Add New Beneficial Owner" button.
- If you registered as a Sole Trader, this section will not be displayed for you.
- Tip: For companies, the beneficial owner is the natural person who, directly or indirectly:
- holds at least 25% of the voting rights or ownership interest in the company,
- otherwise exercises effective control over the company, or
- has a controlling influence over the company.*
*If no individual meets any of the above criteria, the company's executive officer is considered the beneficial owner.
In practice, this means you must provide the details of every person who owns at least 25% of the company or otherwise actively influences the management of the company. If a company owns at least a 25% interest in the company, you must also provide the details of the natural person or persons who control that company.
