Account Verification on Charii

Congratulations on creating your Charii account! The next crucial step in your crowdfunding journey is account verification. This process helps ensure the security and integrity of our platform, building trust among our community of creators and backers.

Why Verify Your Account?

Account verification is an important step for several reasons:

  1. Enhanced Security: It helps protect your account from unauthorized access and potential fraud.
  2. Build Trust: Verified accounts are more likely to gain the trust of potential backers.
  3. Unlock Features: Some advanced features on Charii are only available to verified accounts.
  4. Higher Funding Limits: Verified accounts often have higher funding limits for their projects.
  5. Faster Payouts: The verification process can expedite fund transfers once your project is successful.

The Verification Process

Charii uses a multi-step verification process to ensure the authenticity of our users. Here's what you can expect:

Step 1: Email Verification

This step should already be completed if you followed the account creation process. If not:

  1. Go to your account settings
  2. Ensure your email address is correct
  3. Click "Resend Verification Email"
  4. Check your inbox and click the verification link

Step 2: Phone Number Verification

Adding and verifying your phone number adds an extra layer of security:

  1. Go to your account settings
  2. Add your phone number
  3. Choose to receive a verification code via SMS or voice call
  4. Enter the code you receive to verify your number

Step 3: Identity Verification

This step involves providing some form of government-issued ID:

  1. Navigate to the verification section in your account settings
  2. Choose your country of residence
  3. Select the type of ID you'll be using (passport, driver's license, national ID card)
  4. Upload clear, legible images of your ID (front and back if applicable)
  5. Take a selfie following the on-screen instructions

Step 4: Address Verification

Providing proof of address helps further verify your identity:

  1. Upload a recent utility bill, bank statement, or official government correspondence
  2. Ensure the document clearly shows your name and current address
  3. The document should be dated within the last 3 months
