- Proof of identity – to keep your money safe, we need to check your identity. You have two options for this, verify your identity quickly with YOTI, or send us copies of your documents. To make the process easier, you may wish to set up your digital identification account now. The free YOTI app combines your facial features and ID document to create your unique digital identity. Simply download the YOTI app from the App Store or Play Store and set up your account. The process will then be far simpler when you complete your online form.
