A Team Committed
To the Extra Mile

Globus was founded with a clear mission: to go the extra mile by delivering exceptional solutions that exceed market expectations. With decades of experience across the UK, Europe, and Asia in both traditional banking and FinTech, our team understands the evolving
needs of modern economies.

As we expand into the UAE, a global hub for innovation and the digital economy, we are committed to empowering freelancers, SMEs, and digital professionals with the financial tools they need to thrive. The UAE’s dynamic environment makes it ideal for the growth of digital and freelance workforces, and we aim to support this with tailored financial solutions.

While we are currently in the process of securing a licence from the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA), our goal is to bring our proven products and experiences from other markets to the UAE, customising them to meet local needs and the unique demands of the digital economy.

Stay tuned as we bring innovative, high-quality financial services to the UAE, supporting the nation’s ambition to become a leading global digital hub.

What is ID verification?

ID Verification is a comprehensive process designed to confirm an individual’s identity by cross-referencing their claimed identity with various supporting documents and verification steps. This process typically involves capturing and analysing an official identification document, such as a passport or driver’s license, to check for authenticity and validity. The individual’s identity is further verified by conducting “liveness checks,” which ensure the person is physically present during the verification process by performing actions like blinking or turning their head.

Additionally, a selfie taken by the individual is compared with the photo on their ID document to confirm they are indeed the same person. Another layer of verification may include providing a proof of address document, such as a utility bill or bank statement, to establish and confirm the individual’s residential address. Furthermore, the individual’s details are checked against various databases and watchlists, including government and anti-money laundering (AML) lists, to identify any potential risks or red flags. It is important to note that the ID Verification process is dynamic and may change based on regulatory requirements or the specific needs of the firm to ensure compliance and security.

The steps mentioned above are not exhaustive and may be amended as necessary to maintain robust identity verification standards.
