A guide to documenting the origin of the funds in Fumbi
Fumbi, as a responsible corporation acting in compliance with the laws and regulations of the Slovak Republic, is very diligent when it comes to anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism activities. Therefore, it is important that you provide Proof of Funds when the deposited amount exceeds our security limit.
Act No. 297/2008 Coll. in the wording valid from 1 January 2021, gives us the obligation to identify suspicious transactions that could be related to money laundering or the financing of terrorism. Just like all other legitimate corporations, we are also required by the law to request these documents from you.
We are aware that we are requesting sensitive personal information. Therefore, please upload the documents using your secure Fumbi account and never send them via e-mail. Protection of the personal data of our clients is of the utmost importance to us.
In this article, you will find additional information about what kind of documents you need to upload for us to verify.
Please provide the documents that best document the origin of your deposit.
To document the source of funds deposited by a natural person, several simple steps are required.

How to obtain a bank account statement from your bank:
The documents we are obliged to request from our users:
