# Overview Account Verification

## Account Verification

During account verification, also known as Know Your Customer (KYC), Payrexx checks your organization, its business model, and the identity of the individuals associated with the organization. Payrexx is legally required to perform these checks to prevent money laundering.

### Requirements for Using Payrexx Pay and Payrexx Pay Plus

A verified Payrexx account is a prerequisite for using our in-house payment providers, [Payrexx Pay and/or Payrexx Pay Plus](/merchant/english/payment-provider/payrexx-pay.md).

Please note that only merchants registered in one of the following countries are eligible to apply for account verification:

|                        |                          |                       |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------ | --------------------- |
| :flag\_ch: Switzerland | :flag\_li: Liechtenstein | :flag\_lu: Luxembourg |
| :flag\_at: Austria     | :flag\_fr: France        | :flag\_dk: Denmark    |
| :flag\_de: Germany     | :flag\_it: Italy         | :flag\_bg: Bulgaria   |

Merchants based in other countries can also use Payrexx, but must integrate one or more [third-party payment providers](/merchant/english/payment-provider/external-payment-provider.md) to accept payments.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.payrexx.com/merchant/english/account-verification/overview-account-verification.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
