# Identity and bank

> Complete sandbox identity verification and add a sandbox bank account during developer onboarding.

Onboarding steps one and two cover sandbox identity verification (KYC) and adding a sandbox bank account. Both steps use the same UI as the live environment — the difference is that the sandbox accepts synthetic data, approves quickly, and no real money is involved.

## Sandbox identity verification

<Steps>
  <Step title="Start from onboarding">
    After email verification, Veil routes you to the identity step. Click **Start verification** to begin. (If you'd already started before, the button reads **Resume verification** — same flow.)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Complete the verification form">
    Veil opens the verification flow in a new browser tab, hosted by a regulated banking partner. In sandbox, any image is accepted as a document — you do not need a real government ID, and the form approves synthetic submissions quickly.

    Complete the form, close the tab, and return to Veil — onboarding advances automatically once your status updates.
  </Step>

  <Step title="You're approved">
    Sandbox approval is fast. Once approved, onboarding moves to the bank account step.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  The verification form opens in a new browser tab so your Veil onboarding session stays open. Veil receives only your approval status — not your documents.
</Note>

For more on how KYC fits into Veil, see [KYC](/concepts/kyc). If you need to re-submit or check your status, return to the identity step from the onboarding screen.

## Sandbox bank account

<Steps>
  <Step title="Pick a region">
    After identity verification, onboarding shows **Add your bank account** with a list of regions (Europe, UK, US, International). Click the region your sandbox bank account belongs to.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill in sandbox bank details">
    Fill in the required fields for your region (for example, IBAN and BIC for SEPA, or routing number and account number for ACH). In sandbox, you can use synthetic test values rather than a real bank account — but inputs still have to pass shape checks (a valid-shape IBAN, a valid-checksum ACH routing number). The account numbers themselves do not need to correspond to a real account.

    For the full breakdown of supported regions and required fields, see [Add a bank account](/individuals/bank-account).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Submit">
    Veil registers your sandbox bank account. Onboarding moves to wallet creation.
  </Step>
</Steps>
