## Understanding the New UK KYC Regulations: Legacy 10 DLC UK Numbers
Starting from the 31st of October, all UK 10-digit long code numbers will need to have a UK Bundle linked to them. Numbers without this requirement will be unable to send messages. This change revolves around the Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations in the UK, and it’s critical for service providers, CRM users, coaches, consultants, and small to medium-sized business owners to stay compliant.
### UK KYC Regulations and How They Affect Your Business
If your business uses Legacy UK numbers, you now have the option to create and connect these numbers with the new UK Bundle to comply with the updated KYC regulations. This move ensures that all users are verified and can continue to utilize their long code numbers for messaging services.
### Understanding the New Badges
The new regulations introduce badges under each UK number to indicate their compliance status. These badges help your business easily identify which numbers need attention and which are verified and ready to use.
– **UK Bundle Required**: This badge means you need to create a UK Bundle and link it to the phone number.
– **UK KYC Verified**: No action is needed; the number is verified and ready for use.
### Steps to Verify Your Legacy UK Numbers
To ensure your numbers are in compliance, follow these steps:
1. **Check Your Phone Numbers**: Go to the Phone Numbers page to see if you have any unverified UK numbers.
2. **Create a UK Bundle**: Navigate to the Regulatory Bundle tab and create a UK Bundle for the same number type.
3. **Link the Bundle**: Once the Bundle is approved, link it to the phone number to verify it.
By following these steps, you’ll ensure that your business remains compliant with the new UK KYC regulations.
