Account Reviews: Source of Funds (SoF) Requirements

Why we may ask about your Source of Funds, what you'll need to submit, and what to expect during the process

Thndr is a regulated investment platform. To maintain a secure environment and comply with the Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA) requirements in Egypt, we periodically verify user information.

Receiving a request for information is a routine compliance procedure. It is not an indication of wrongdoing or a risk to your account.

This article covers:

  • Why Thndr may request additional information

  • How you'll be notified and where to submit

  • What you'll be asked to provide

  • What happens to your account while the request is open

  • What happens after you submit


Why Thndr Requires Source of Funds (SoF) Verification

Thndr is legally mandated by the FRA to verify the origin of capital used on the platform. This verification ensures:

  • Regulatory Compliance: Adherence to Egyptian FRA standards for all licensed financial institutions.

  • Account Security: Protect the platform and your assets from unauthorized activity.

  • Routine Maintenance: Periodic updates to your investor profile as required by law.

  • Maintain Transparency: Verify that the capital used for investment aligns with your documented financial profile.

A request for information is a routine procedure. The process is completely confidential and it does not mean your account is under investigation or that any wrongdoing has occurred.


Triggers for Information Requests

While specific internal triggers are confidential, Thndr typically requests updated information based on:

  • Account Activity: Significant changes in deposit or trading patterns.

  • Periodic Reviews: Routine updates required to keep your account profile current.

  • Regulatory Updates: New requirements introduced by the FRA.


How Thndr Will Contact You to Complete Verification

If your account requires verification, Thndr will contact you through two official channels:

  • Email: You will receive a message with a secure, personalized link to a submission form.

  • In-App Banner: A notification will appear at the top of your Thndr home screen.

⚠️ Important: The submission link is unique to your account. Do not share this link with others. You can access the form by tapping the in-app banner or using the email link.
