Source of funds

Source of funds is the origin of the specific money used in a transaction, such as salary, business revenue or the sale of an asset.

In practice

It is a narrower question than source of wealth, which asks how a person or business built up everything they own. Source of funds asks only where this particular money came from.

The evidence is ordinary paperwork: payslips, bank statements, invoices, a sale contract or a loan agreement. A provider is most likely to ask when a payment is large or does not fit the customer's usual pattern.

On Stables, a source of funds question arrives as a request for information on the customer or the payment. You upload the evidence through the dashboard or the API.
