We’re excited to announce a major step forward in our mission to build trust at scale: Know Your Customer (KYC) verification is now live on SANU.
With SANU’s latest product updates—now supporting Euro, Rupee, Rand, and Yuan—this new requirement strengthens the integrity, security, and global readiness of our gold-backed platform.

Why KYC Matters
KYC isn’t just a compliance checkbox. It’s a trust signal—a core part of ensuring SANU is a safe, secure, and globally compliant space as we connect Africa’s gold with the world.
Here’s what KYC helps us do:
🔐 Prevent identity fraud
💸 Enable secure wallet transactions
🌐 Meet international compliance standards
📈 Unlock higher transaction limits for verified users
“As we scale beyond borders, trust becomes our strongest currency.” — The SANU Team
