Our Know Your Customer (KYC) process is an essential part of our onboarding process that helps us ensure that our clients really are who they say they are – it’s in line with the licensing requirements laid out by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) (OANDA Crypto is a trading name of OANDA Coinpass Limited, which is registered with the FCA). To apply for an account, we’ll need to verify your email address, phone number and identity via an automated process. Finally, we’ll conduct a liveness check – you’ll take a selfie, a picture of your most recent ID document (such as your driving licence or passport), and go through a short liveness test video.
