What are AML checks?
Crowdstacker are required to verify your identity to prevent Money Laundering. In almost all cases verification can be done electronically. In certain circumstances, we will require a proof of address, proof of identity and bank statement to verify your identity, address and your bank account. You can securely upload scans of these documents at www.crowdstacker.com/account/private-uploads
If I open a new IFISA, can I put my existing P2P investments into it?
We have been in discussions with HMRC since the launch of the Innovative Finance ISA to work out a method of transferring your Peer to Peer investment to your Innovative Finance ISA. Although it is allowed, the solution is not easy for an investor.
We would require you to fund your Innovative Finance ISA with an amount totaling the Investment Amount of the Peer to Peer investment you want to transfer.
For more information, please contact us at 020 7118 7570.
