KYC is not always required to answer a customer’s enquiry, however in certain cases local law obliges lawyers to perform KYC procedure before providing legal assistance/help/service.

LEGID’s Dispute Resolution systems protect you against scams, fraud or sub-par quality services. Meeting a client or lawyer on LEGID App, but choosing to conduct your transaction outside of the platform is called circumvention. This is a serious violation of our Terms of Use as well as a practice that leaves both parties without any protection against poor quality services, additional fees, scams or fraud. Circumvention includes any steps initiated to take a transaction off the platform.

Violation of our Terms of Use will result in the suspension of an account. Additionally, users may be charged with fees (service initiation or lead acquisition fees) associated with such cases.

Whenever you try to confirm your request for legal advice or add a new credit card to your account, you might be asked to authenticate the payment with your bank via a pop-up screen. This protocol is part of Strong Customer Authentication (SCA), a new regulation for the European Economic Area requesting banks and payment providers to authenticate digital transactions. This authentication protocol provide an extra security to all your online transactions.

The most common way to authenticate an online transaction is an extra step upon checkout, where the user is asked – by their bank or payment provider – to provide additional information to complete a transaction (e.g. a password, SMS-verification or a fingerprint confirmation).

Do I need to authenticate every time I accept offers for legal advice?
It will depend on the price-offer/frequency and your bank’s authentication policy. Normally, you’ll need to authenticate every time you add or update a new credit card as a payment method.

How do I know this is actually secure?
The authentication will be carried out and secured by your bank or payment provider. The authentication process and its type (password, SMS or fingerprint) is not decided nor provided by LEGID, so if you have any queries regarding security, contact your bank or payment provider directly.

Any exemptions for SCA?
Some specific types of low-risk payments may be excluded from SCA. Upon transaction, your bank or payment provider will evaluate the risk level of the transaction, and further decide whether to apply the exemption or authentication is still obligatory.

For more information please read this article.

Note: Digital payments such as Apple Pay or Google Pay digital wallets are not subject to SCA protocols.
