We got this email recently:

Subject: New KYC Policy

Dear Affiliate,

Due to the ever changing financial regulations, we are now required to confirm your identity in order to send out payments, regardless of the payment method.

Before the next payout date (earliest April 14th), please kindly complete the ID verification.
You can find the link to complete verification on the profile page (https://www.tsunami-cash.com/client/profile) under the Payment section.
Please specify if you are an individual or business. Note that businesses will have to verify the identity of the ultimate beneficial owner.

We are using the service provided by iDenfy which has strict data safety standards and will automate the process as much as possible. If it's successful you will see "verified" in green. However you may have problems with their system, in which case please contact us by email if you have any trouble and we will do our best to get you verified.

If you change the payment information or your personal information you will have to complete the verification process again.
Sometimes the iDenfy ID scanning doesn't read your name correctly. In that case please contact us and we will correct any mistakes.

Please bear with us with this new requirement. We want to make sure we can comply and continue to do business with you.

Best regards,
Tsunami Cash Team


Now they ask to show your ID on cam, front and back, plus making a selfie.

This world is doomed! :321GFY
Not only because it takes a lot of time, but also because privacy is totally gone.

What is your limit?

I think I would have less of a problem (but still a problem) with this if there was one central, regulated authority, verifying your ID through your home country's system, so you didn't have to do it over and over again at multiple different verification services, of unknown trustworthiness, sprouting up in every country.

I can only imagine the number of selfies you'll need to take if other affiliate programs request the same.

Oy!

Kind of fucked that they will hold your owed payment hostage with no notice until you comply, ideally it'd be effective next period :2 cents:

We have a month or until next payout to comply. Indeed, privacy is in the rearview mirror.

90% of affiliates are small, making their $100 min payout every few months, for this to be an anti-money-laundering risk is ridiculous & comical :disgust

Affiliates & sponsors need to push back to this government overreach, question things, all payments are paper trails, so ML through sponsors is absolute nonsense.

:thumbsup

They are doing business with you so they want to know you better. There is nothing wrong if you send them your ID scan, but only if they send your their ID scans first.

See, you promote some site and you don't even know the real names of its owners, their physical living addresses etc. That's not a good idea to send your traffic to some unknown sites operated by a bunch unknown dudes. Are you sure they are not criminals and their business is 100% legit?

You don't know them and don't know what to expect. For example, you send your traffic to some unknown site operated by unknown people and once upon a time police knocks at your door and ask you why you placed a link to a site, which sells/distributes/propagandize drugs, assassinations, child porn, gambling, terrorism etc.

What will you tell to the police officers in such a case? You will say you were deceived and used by a group of... WHO? A group of WHO? How will you protect yourself if you just don't know them and never seen their IDs?

So ALWAYS ask for IDs (passport and driving license scans along with the proofs of their residency) of the site operators (affiliate program owners etc).

We live in a very complicated world, so don't push any program is you have no their ID scans on file.

Thus, if some affiliate program asks for your ID, they have a right to do so, but ONLY if they send you their IDs first. You know that even a police officer or FBI/FSB agent can't check your ID if he hasn't shoved your his own police token first.

Don't be an idiot and NEVER send your personal info to anyone who you don't know. So my advice is to say FUCK OFF to all those shady affiliate programs that ask for your docs.

Interesting topic of conversation! I see a second thread on GFY about it. I don't have answers for you guys but in my experience fraudulent affiliates in different parts of the world have zero issues about providing photo ID's. They will try to submit everything that is required to get paid for bad sales even. It's crazy.

i just read some of this kyc shit and this shit is "know your customer" wtf?? we are not customers. well i don't buy porn
United States: Pursuant to the USA Patriot Act of 2001, the Secretary of the Treasury was required to finalize regulations before October 26, 2002 making KYC mandatory for all US banks. The related processes are required to conform to a customer identification program

this aint a check cashing service. my bank knows me!

Yeah I read what you posted

Good point! :thumbsup

However, we should not ask affiliate program owners their ID's, because this drives us even more into the wrong direction.

Full agree with you. Only when we "all" stop accepting this BS terror it will come to an end.

The company I think requiring it is masspay dot io. Google them.

Yes to this.

Know your sponsor is vital.

Otherwise, how can you know/prove that you aren't materially supporting "terrorists"?

:2 cents:

Yes, exactly this. If the affiliate can deposit a check or receive an ACH or wire at their bank, the bank, at least in the USA, like it or not, has already fully complied with KYC.

Really ? I bet your a fan of NWO and digital ID government trying to instore permanently :1orglaugh

I agree too :thumbsup

The company demanding IDs IS masspay.io. Smells like another epassporte to me.

is there a law that enforces "know your affiliate ??"
if not gfy... i send my traffic elsewhere...

here's a simple solution:

do not do business with them.

Same with Adult Force and more than 10 of my programs. Not a problem to me, but as for the webcam models, I never heard such a thing (you send them the ID when you sign up for verification) should be enough. Or they will go work on another site

These are really good points.

i see nothing about affiliates. also i dont see face scans. somebody needs to take these places to court.

Just so you're prepared, we're going to ask for blood samples as of June 1st.

So has anybody on GFY ever met any of the people behind Tsunami?

I've known and worked with, drank with, ate with, the main people, since 2008. Some of the crew shoot with us when they are free, and we are friends as well. Best guys I've met in adult.

You are all going to have to provide photo ID going forward. This isn't government overreach it is Mastercard/Visa regulations kicking in. You will not have a choice in the matter.

I am in favour of all affiliate prorgrams moving to a tax paradise with sunny beaches, without rules and start paying in USDT coins and ask nothing. So i can stake them for 7% interest. Than we finally also make money from payment systems instead of it costing money with negative interest in Europe and bank cost.

I've already shaved a part of my back for the bar code. All good here.

What's going on with this?

as an affiliate you are not processing and not a customer either...therefore i do not see a point where the mastercard/visa regulation kicks in..the payment from the sponsor to affiliate is another cup of tea..
