What is KYC verification?

KYC verification is not only a tool that allows us to know you a little better but also a method to avoid having commercial relations with those related to terrorism, corruption, or money laundering. Check our Anti Money Laundering policy for more details. By completing the KYC, clients verify that they are who they say to be to access our services and products.

To complete the KYC, you need to provide some contact information (your country, city, address line, postal code, and so on), take a photo of your identity document, and take a selfie.

Don’t worry. It’s quick and easy, as the verification is a fully automatic process and takes only a couple of minutes.

Why do I need to complete the KYC verification?

CoinLoan is a CeFi platform. We can’t provide our services to non-verified customers. Thus, as a non-verified user, you have no access to the following services:
