In order for your leasing contract to be fully activated, your identity must be verified.
We carry out this step on behalf of the respective leasing bank. Legitimation is required by law and serves both the security of the financial system and your personal protection against identity theft.
According to the Austrian Financial Market Anti-Money Laundering Act (FM-GwG), leasing and financial institutions must clearly establish the identity of their customers.Identity verification protects against:
Fraud
Identity theft
Money laundering
Misuse of personal data
Why is a copy of an ID sent by email not sufficient?
A simple email with a copy of your ID does not meet legal requirements because:
the authenticity of the ID cannot be verified
no identity check of the sending person is possibleemails are not a secure, GDPR-compliant transmission method
the FMA expressly does not recognize such procedures
Therefore, our leasing partners use only approved, secure identification procedures.
Requirements for successful legitimation
- Stable internet connection
- Device with working camera and microphone (PC, laptop, or smartphone)
- Valid identification document (identity card or passport)
- Good lighting
