To complete Bujeti onboarding, you must submit a proof of address document no older
than 3 months. This confirms your registered business location and satisfies Nigeria's KYC/KYB compliance requirements. Accepted documents include utility bills, bank statements, internet bills, lease agreements, and official government letters.
Why Is Proof of Address Required?
Bujeti is regulated under Nigerian financial laws and must verify your business address as part of Know Your Customer (KYC) and Know Your Business (KYB) compliance. Submitting a valid proof of address helps us:
Confirm your business physically operates at a real, verifiable location
Protect your account against fraudulent activity
Meet Anti-Money Laundering (AML) obligations
Unlock full account features and higher transaction tiers

✅ Within 3 months: Documents older than 3 months will be rejected. Check the issue date before uploading.
Unmodified: Submit the original document directly from its source. No editing, cropping, or annotations.
⚠️ No POS bills: POS-generated utility payment receipts are specifically not accepted as proof of address.
