KYC verification — when, why, and how

When KYC is required, what documents we accept, and how to handle rejections.

KYC (Know Your Customer) is required for certain large purchases and withdrawals. Most users never need it.

When is KYC required?

  • Cumulative purchases above a regulatory threshold

  • Specific jurisdictions where local law requires it

  • If a transaction is flagged for additional review

What you need

  • A government-issued photo ID (passport, driver's license, national ID)

  • A live selfie (taken in-app, never uploaded from camera roll)

  • Proof of address only if specifically requested

How long does it take?

Most submissions are reviewed within 24 hours. Complex cases up to 72 hours.

My KYC was rejected — what now?

Common reasons:

  • Blurry document — retake in good light, full document in frame

  • Selfie doesn't match ID — retake the selfie facing the light

  • Expired document — use a current ID

  • Cropped corners — capture the full ID including all four corners

You can resubmit immediately — there's no cooldown. If you're unsure why, message us in this chat with your email and we'll explain.

Privacy

KYC data is stored encrypted, accessed only by reviewers, and never shared with third parties beyond what's legally required. You can request deletion after a successful review.
