What is the KYC process for band members & what documents do I need to provide?


The KYC (Know Your Customer) process is an essential verification step for band members on Finay, designed to protect both artists and fans by ensuring a secure, authentic platform. Completing KYC helps verify the identities of our creators, allowing Finay to maintain a trusted environment for sharing, selling, and engaging with music.

Why KYC Is Essential on Finay

  1. Protecting Against Copyright Infringement

    • KYC allows Finay to verify that all band members are genuine artists, which helps prevent copyright infringements. By verifying identities, we can ensure that no unauthorized users or “copycats” can upload or sell music that isn’t their own. This safeguards artists’ rights, ensures rightful ownership of content, and fosters a platform of true originality.

  2. Building a Trusted Community

    • Verified profiles help fans trust that they’re engaging with authentic artists. This transparency strengthens connections within the Finay community, allowing fans to feel confident in their support for their favorite creators.

  3. Compliance with Regulatory Standards

    • KYC also enables Finay to adhere to international regulatory requirements, keeping the platform legally compliant and safe for all users.

How to Complete the KYC Process

To complete your KYC verification as a band member:

  1. Provide Your Identification Details

    • You’ll need to enter your name, a brief description of yourself, your music account link, and any other relevant information.

  2. Additional Documentation for Music Therapy Functionality

    • If you plan to offer music therapy sessions, you’ll need to provide extra credentials, such as your degree or license number, to confirm your qualifications.

  3. Submit Your KYC Application

    • Once all details are complete, click Submit to send your application for review.

Upon approval, you’ll gain full access to Finay’s band member privileges, including enhanced profile visibility, access to music therapy functionalities (if applicable), and a platform built on integrity and copyright protection.

Completing KYC is vital in building a safe, original, and authentic space for artists and fans on Finay.
