KYC is an awesome technological solution, that enables you to verify your identity from the privacy of your couch!

When you wish to open a bank account with your bank or make investments with an investment company or start a savings account you usually need to go and visit the company office, meet their representative to identify yourself with your documents, and sign contracts.

There is no need to visit our office to start using Kriptomat. Identity verification with AML/CFT check is a mandatory thing.

KYC is an acronym that stands for “Know Your Customer” - it represents the process of a business verifying the identity of its clients in order to prevent money laundering, identity theft, financial fraud, and terrorist funding. This process involves verifying your identity and address using government-issued documents (identity card or passport). You can (and should) read both the KYC and AML policies on the Kriptomat website.
