Investor onboarding
In order for an investor to make an investment offer, they have to set up an account with the platform.
Creating an account with the platform requires the collection of a set of data and the verification of this data via a video identification provider.
Onboarding isn't an isolated process but is integrated into the subscription process. The onboarding process is therefore split into two parts:
- 1.The investor enters some personal data and secures the account with a password as the first step in the subscription process.
- 2.After the subscription process has been completed, the investor needs to proceed with additional steps such as the video identification process. After these additional steps have been completed, investors are notified via email.
The offer is only forwarded to the issuer for acceptance once the full onboarding process is completed.
