How Long Does Beepay Store Your Data?

As a regulated financial institution, Beepay is required by law to store some of your personal and transactional data beyond the closure of your account with us. Your data is only accessed internally on a need to know basis, and it will only be accessed or processed if absolutely necessary. Your information shall be kept for six years from the year when the business relationship is terminated or the year when the one-off service is ended. Where you or your transaction(s) are involved with investigation (such as anti-money laundering and Counter-Terrorist financing) or other legal actions, and if such investigation or legal action is still on-going upon the expiration of 6 years, the related information will be kept until the end of such investigation/legal action.

We always delete information that we no longer need. And everything we need to keep is subject to the highest levels of security.
