From time to time Nedbank Private Wealth will be obliged to update the identity documentation it holds on behalf of its clients. You may have recently received an email from us requesting you provide updated identification documentation such as a Passport or Driver License.
We recognise conventional methods for providing identity documents can be time consuming and inconvenient for clients. Our online identity verification service now gives you the option to use a secure, convenient and quick method to provide your identity verification documents online. All you need is your identity documents, a mobile phone, tablet or computer and access to the internet.
To provide this service safely and securely we have partnered with Onfido, a leading provider of online identity verification. Onfido uses sophisticated techniques to assess whether your government issued identification document is genuine.
The service is easy to use – simply open the link provided in the email we send you and follow the instructions. This can be done by using a mobile phone, tablet or computer. It should only take a few minutes to verify your identity and it’s entirely online. You can start the process and finish it later if you don’t have your documents to hand.
Should you require any further assistance please contact our client services team who will be delighted to help with any queries you may have. Please contact them on +44 (0)1624 645000 or at client.services@nedbankprivatewealth.com.

Nedbank Private Wealth is well capitalised and retains levels of capital well above regulatory minimum requirements. It has a low risk balance sheet with no debt servicing obligations and high levels of liquidity.
Our approach to liquidity management is very conservative, benefitting from a strong portfolio of high quality negotiable instruments. Cash placements with third party banks are generally for periods no greater than seven days and Nedbank Private Wealth liquidity is very strong.
We apply a policy of very limited lending (sometimes referred to as deposit upstreaming) to our parent and also restrict the size of our money market exposures with other major financial institutions. All such exposures are only made with banks that are considered systemically important either globally or within their own geographic regions, and consequently are subject to much higher supervisory expectations and are required to have full resolution planning in place (“resolution” is the restructuring of a bank by a resolution authority through the use of resolution tools in order to safeguard public interests, including the continuity of the bank’s critical functions, financial stability and minimal costs to taxpayers). This ensures diversity of risk on behalf of our clients and individual exposures therefore remain extremely modest given the scale of our balance sheet and reserves.
