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. This can be done through a dedicated registration process, which contains the following customer related steps and if completed, results in an investment-ready account:
- 1.Account data including personal data, email-address and password
- 2.Knowledge & Experience about the customer's previous investment behaviour
- 3.Video identification
- 4.Additional data, which can include tax and deposit information (this step is optional and can be configured)
In order for a platform to offer the dedicated registration process to their investors, it first needs to reach out to Cashlink to enable that option. Once that is done, the platform's URL can simply be enhanced by the URL-path /register to link future investors into the registration process. Example: assuming the platform's URL was cashlink-invest.de, the registration URL would be cashlink-invest.de/register.
Alternatively, the creation of an account can also happen as an integrated part of each investment process, be it an invitation or an investment campaign the platform set up.
