What is Identity Verification?

Just like banks and other financial institutions, WanTok Money operates according to the Anti Money Laundering Act. As such, we require proof of your identity and your address.

Absolutely. We take privacy very seriously here at WanTok Money and all of your documents will be held in our secure database. Please see our privacy policy for more information.

A passport on its own will cover your full identity requirement, however if you don't have one you can provide two alternative forms of identification. For example, a Driver Licence + a Birth Certificate. The full list is available here.

I get all of my statements electronically - what can I do for proof of address?

WanTok Money will accept statements from banks, utility companies and government agencies that have been sent electronically providing they are dated within 90 days of the submission date and clearly show the name and address of the applicant as well as the name of the sending organisation.

Logging into WanTok Money is an easy way to keep track of your details - and the details of the people you send money to.

For this reason - it is important that you memorise your passwords, secret questions, and security answers. You will need them, every time you use WanTok Moneypacific.com



If you have forgotten your log-on details; you can select the forgotten password? link on the log in page. We will send a message to your verified email address. Use this link to reset your password.



If you have forgotten your security questions - you will need to contact us.



If you’re having trouble with the "secret letter" security feature, try selecting the "Help" example on the secret letter screen/web page.

• You only need to enter the two missing letters highlighted by the red boxes - not the entire word.
• The missing letters are selected by using the mouse to click on the on-screen key-pad. The letter will display, for your confirmation.

This is to ensure your information is protected, even if your computer is shared by several of your family, used at work, or in places like Internet Cafes where you may have less security than on a personal computer in your own home.
