Registration Process

At Beehive, we are committed to make the investor registration process as easy and straightforward as possible. We take our investor take-on procedures very seriously and as part of this we are required to collect and maintain valid identity/information of our investors. This helps us know and understand you better as part of our KYC (Know Your Customer) requirements which are in accordance with the guidelines issued by the FSA (Financial Services Authority) and we have to understand who you are, your source of funds and your previous dealings.

Simple steps to get started

The first step of our registration process requires basic personal information in order to register on our platform which includes name, date of birth, nationality, country of residence and contact number.
At this stage we also request our investors to create a user name and password which would be used to access the investor platform to progress in the registration process and browse through our investor platform. The user name is entirely up to you however we request it is a minimum of six letters.
The password must be 8-16 characters and contain upper and lower case letters, numbers and a special character e.g. $, %, !

Completing the registration

To gain full access to the platform and add funds to your account, you will need to complete a few more steps as part of our investor take-on process. As part of this we will require the following:

Your personal details including full address;
Your employment status, occupation and the source of your funds  that you plan to invest;
Your bank details. This will be the bank from which you will deposit funds and into which we will make payments. We will not directly debit any amounts from your bank account; and
Acceptance of the terms and certification of the details provided.

At this stage our team would also request identification verification (your passport and proof of your residential address) and a selfie holding your passport to comply with our investor take-on requirements. Please note that additional documents may also be requested from time to time.

We will only share your details or documents with relevant government authorities (if requested to do so).We do not share your details or documents with any other external or third parties without your authorization.

Funding your account

Once you have registered as explained above and have agreed to our Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy we complete our KYC checks as a final step. After this is done, you are able to add funds into your Beehive account and you can then start to make bids on our Marketplace.

You are only able to transfer funds to Beehive from your nominated bank account (as indicated during the registration process – this is a requirement as per international Anti-money laundering standards). We will therefore only accept transfers initiated through internet banking, telephone banking or visiting a bank branch. To ensure the funds get credited to your account without delay, please also let us know the amount you are transferring via the “deposit money” page on the platform. Please allow 1-3 business days for funds to be processed and credited to your account. All funds credited will be net of any bank fees.
