Each merchant is free to request the requirement they deem necessary to preserve their security, it is up to the interested party whether they take the order or not, simple...

Good day #venezuela on social networks and even here within the platform I have already seen several posts from people who, when entering the p2p market, are afraid or get scared because the seller, before agreeing on the account to which the payment will be made, asks for certain sensitive data, such as a photo of the ID and bank account number, even phone number if the purchase is made through mobile payment.

I researched and most merchants ask for this data due to the following official gazette No. 43,098 published on March 31, 2025, which mainly focuses on two areas: banking regulations and appointments of officials.

In this case, we are only interested in the first, the banking regulations, which are dictated by resolution No. 010.25 of the Superintendency of Banking Sector Institutions (SUDEBAN) which establishes the:
Norms related to the Administration and Supervision of the Risks of Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction (LC/FT/FPADM).

Which in simple words means that financial institutions and other regulated entities must design and implement a robust system to prevent crimes such as money laundering, terrorism, arms purchasing, among others.

Having shown these points, I can say that merchants are indeed entitled to ask the counterparty if the funds to be exchanged are of lawful origin, even to ask for the ID if it does not appear in the user's data at the time of the transaction, also asking that payments or transfers be made to the personal account and not accepting third-party accounts. All of this is understandable.

Now, what seems wrong to me is that people who want to buy a maximum of 10,000bs sometimes even less, there are merchants who want to ask for ID photos, and other data to supposedly verify the origin of the funds. I would understand if it were a higher transaction, but for low amounts it does not seem right to me.
