Our policy
It is obligatory for freelancers, if they want to receive funds , to provide us with certain legal documents . Our service provider Mangopay, a subsidiary of Crédit Mutuel Arkéa, is responsible for verifying the legal documents transmitted by freelancers.
Our partner Mangopay is subject to the same rules as those imposed on banks in terms of knowing your customer (Know Your Customer or “KYC”).
In addition, this protects you against the law of obligation of vigilance on concealed work .
We thus collect documents relating to the professional status of the freelancer such as:
Their identity document (directly transmitted to Mangopay),
Its SIREN situation notice,
His certificate of vigilance,
His KBIS,
Its statutes,
His statement of beneficiaries.
