POSTIDENT
POSTIDENT is a Deutsche Post identification procedure that can be used to uniquely and securely identify individuals. This procedure is frequently used by banks and financial service providers to fulfill the legal requirements of the Money Laundering Act (GwG). The Money Laundering Act stipulates that the identity of new customers must be verified in order to prevent illegal activities such as money laundering and terrorist financing. With the POSTIDENT procedure, identification can be carried out either in a post office by presenting an ID document or online, for example by video identification. POSTIDENT offers a reliable way to establish the identity of customers securely and in compliance with the law.
