Why is my personal information required to make payments on CardUp?
As a payment processor, we are required to verify the identity of our customers for transactions involving the exchange for a product or service.
CardUp is permitted under the Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC) to collect your information, such as your NRIC/FIN number to facilitate the verification of your payments. This allows us to positively identify you as the individual who both registered with us and made the payment. This helps us with our conduct of relevant Know-Your-Customer verification checks, that also help prevent money-laundering and terrorist financing.
