Your security matters to us. That’s why Solar Staff has implemented an account verification system that protects your interests while meeting legal requirements.

Why is verification needed?

Verification is our way of confirming the authenticity of your personal data and documents. This process serves three essential purposes:

  • Preventing money laundering

  • Stopping terrorism financing

  • Protecting against fraudulent online payments

Starting January 1, 2025, verification becomes mandatory for all Solar Staff users, except for individual entrepreneurs registered in Russia.

How to complete verification?

The process is straightforward:


1. Log in to your account

2. Click on your name

3. Follow the on-screen instructions


We recommend reviewing our Verification Rules article first to familiarize yourself with the document requirements.

Security of your data

Our approach to data protection rests on several key principles:

  • We collect only essential information needed to provide full service access.

  • Your data serves exclusively service-related purposes and remains protected from third parties.

  • We employ advanced security measures, including VPN connections, while restricting data access to authorized personnel only.

Solar Staff maintains full compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and adheres strictly to our Privacy Policy.


Compliance with Russian legislation

As a financial operations platform, Solar Staff operates under:

  • Federal Law No. 115-FZ “On Countering the Legalization of Proceeds from Crime and the Financing of Terrorism” dated August 7, 2001

  • Federal Law No. 152-FZ “On Personal Data” dated July 27, 2006

This extends to biometric data – the physical and biological characteristics that can establish your identity.
