What are the impacts of the PCMLTFA changes?
Due to regulatory changes, Photo ID and Proof of Address no longer meet verification requirements for Non Face-to-Face.
When will these changes be in effect?
These changes are in effect immediately, and we will be working with each of you to become AlertPay Verified as new account limits have been put in place to meet the requirements of the regulations.
What does that mean to me?
AlertPay is working hard to ensure that we provide you the fastest and safest payment processing service online, and in order to do so, we have to comply with government regulations.
These measures will also ensure that our AlertPay members can feel safer when transacting using AlertPay for their online payment needs.
