# What is business account verification? ## Why get verified LFG prides itself on being a fully compliant payment platform for all types of business merchants, and personal users. To ensure all funds that are sent to you are from trusted, legally compliant users, we must also check businesses that use LFG to receive payments. Fortunately, getting verified is very easy as we work with our trusted partner, CoinMENA, to undertake checks. ## How to get verified As part of the onboarding process of your merchant account, **the app will guide you through the simple process and request a form of ID** from you as the business owner or representative. All verification is only done through the app. In most cases, the verification takes less than 1 minute to complete, but sometimes it can take a bit longer than that. However, you will be notified when the verification has been completed so you can start accepting crypto payments in your business. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
