Three statuses will indicate the validation status of your KYC:

  • Validated in green : you can now configure your payment products that work with Zenchef Payment.
  • Pending validation in orange: your KYC is currently being validated.
  • Action required in red : some of the provided documents or information need to be corrected. Click on the link under this status to go to your KYC and make the necessary corrections.

Once validated, your Zenchef Payment account is active!

Note :

Change of Bank Account:

If your company were to change its bank account and consequently its RIB, you can click below the "Account activated" button on the "Click here" link to change the information in the "Reimbursement Information" section.

Random KYC Re-verification:

To combat fraud, your documents may be randomly re-verified.

If a document is no longer valid, your KYC will change to "Action required", and you will need to provide current documents and validate your KYC. This will not affect the proper functioning of your payment products. It is simply an administrative update.
