Bahigo KYC Verification: When It’s Required And What To Submit
Bahigo runs an account verification (KYC) check to confirm who you are, where you live, and that the payment method belongs to you. The check is tied to withdrawals and certain account activity, and it’s completed by uploading documents in your account.
- Identity (ID/Passport): Bahigo asks for a valid government-issued document, most commonly a passport or national ID card. Upload a clear colour photo of the full document (front and back if it’s an ID card), with all corners visible and your details readable. If Bahigo requests a selfie check, submit a live selfie or a selfie holding the document, matching the name and date of birth on your account.
- Address proof: Bahigo accepts a recent proof of address showing your full name and residential address, dated within the last 3 months. Typical examples are a utility bill, bank statement, or government letter. Screenshots with missing headers, cropped pages, or documents that don’t show the date get rejected and need to be re-uploaded.
- Payment method: Bahigo verifies the payment method used for deposits, especially before the first withdrawal or when you switch methods. For bank cards, you provide a photo of the card with only the last 4 digits visible and the cardholder name visible; cover the full card number and CVV. For e-wallets, Bahigo requests a screenshot or PDF from the wallet account showing your name and the wallet ID/email used for payments. If you deposited through bank transfer, Bahigo asks for a bank statement or transfer confirmation that shows your name and the relevant transaction details.
Verification is requested when you place your first withdrawal, when your withdrawal amount is large compared to your deposit history, when you change key account details (name, address, phone, email), when you log in from a new country or device, or when the same payment method appears across multiple accounts. Bahigo also triggers KYC if it detects mismatched names between the account profile and the deposit method.
After you upload documents, Bahigo typically reviews them within 24–48 hours. If photos are blurry, cropped, expired, or the address document is older
