Verification process
By clicking the ‘Next’ button, you’ll be taken to a dedicated, secure module hosted by our partner MangoPay. During the verification process, you’ll be asked to provide the following information:
• Create a ‘passkey’ or trusted device to enable secure sign-ins to MangoPay
• Email address, as it is registered on your Malt account
• Create a 6-digit pin code
• Add your phone number
After starting the verification process, you need to authorize Malt to perform two actions on your behalf:
• Get access to your MangoPay account balance and transactions
• Execute payments from your MangoPay account
Authorizing Malt to perform these actions is mandatory. Without authorization you will not be able to receive payments through Malt and benefit from proper use of the platform.
Starting the verification
You’ll be asked to create a passkey for extra security. Depending on your device, it will ask you for your fingerprint, face or screen lock code to confirm it’s really you.
Next, you’ll need to add your email address, as it is registered on your Malt account.
Lastly, define a unique 6-digit PIN code and add your phone number.
If these steps have been completed successfully, you will be redirected back to your Business settings on Malt!
Your bank account is now verified and you’re ready to receive payments for your work!
