Electronic Verification of Identity Statement

As per the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (AML/CTF Act) DDF is required to verify your identity before providing any financial services.

As part of the verification process, your name, address, and date of birth may be provided to a credit reporting body and reporting entities such as VIX Verify and Equifax, who will assess whether this matches the information held by them. They will use this information in addition to their own information to make the assessment.

The issuer or official record holder of any document you provide may be contacted to verify them by using the Government’s Document Verification Service. This document check may involve an approved third-party service.

The information you provide is your personal information and you must have authority to provide it to the Diocese of Sandhurst Development Fund (DDF).

Note: It is an offence under the AML/CTF Act to provide false or misleading information about your identity.

  • Should DDF not be able to verify your identity either electronically, or through alternate methods, DDF will not be able to provide the requested financial service.
  • If you fail electronic verification, DDF may contact you and request you provide copies of additional identification.
