# Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD)

> When EDD applies, what documents are needed, and how the review works.

Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) is an extra verification step required under AML and CFT regulations. It confirms that a user's activity, source of funds, and transaction purpose are legitimate.

EDD reviews usually complete in 24 to 48 hours.

## When EDD is triggered

EDD can be triggered for both **Onramp (Payin)** or **Offramp (Payout)** flows when any of the following occur:

## Possible EDD failure reasons

<Note>
  Under the "Prohibition of Tipping Off" clause in FIU India's AML/CFT guidelines, we may not be able to share exact reasons for EDD failures. Disclosing specific reasons could allow users to manipulate documents or responses to bypass compliance checks.
</Note>

Common internal reasons for EDD failure (not shared with customers):

* Submitted documents appear forged or edited
* Bank statements are inconsistent with the declared source of income
* Bank statements are inconsistent with the Income Tax Return (ITR)
* Frequent cash deposits in submitted bank statements
* Bank statement provided for a different account than the one declared
* Supporting documents do not match the declared purpose for a higher limit request
* Frequent involvement in P2P trading activities (especially Offramp)
* Source of funds could not be confirmed from bank statements
* Source of funds appears suspicious
* Law enforcement inquiries or flags raised during EDD checks
* Suspicion that the user's crypto or bank account is operated by a third party
* Any suspicious activity or red flag indicator triggered
