What is video authorization?
Video authorization is a means of verification for beneficial owners during Relay account registration. Video authorization is one of the documents requested when signing up for an account. Please see this article for more information on additional Required Documents and Information for Registration.
If you are a beneficial owner for your business with 25% or more ownership, we will request you to record and upload video authorization. In order to do this, please record or upload a video of yourself saying the following sentence:
“I authorize account opening at Relay Financial.”
To ensure your video authorization can be verified, your video should follow these guidelines:
- The camera is positioned close up in front of your face
- You are looking directly into the camera while speaking
- You are taking a steady video recording
- You have clear audio stating "I authorize account opening at Relay Financial"
- No other people are present in the video recording
- Should be in full color (black and white videos are not accepted)
- Maximum length of 6 seconds
- Maximum file size of 5MB
- Accepted file formats: mp4, QuickTime, and WebM
