Know-Your-Customer (KYC)

To unlock the account for blockchain products, we are required to identify customers according to international and Swiss law.

First, personal data is recorded using a template. Subsequently, there will be a video call using a laptop (with camera and microphone) or a smartphone. You must be alone in the room. An agent will guide each customer through the verification process. The languages available are German or English.

Comfirm to progress in the KYC-Process.

In the template, personal data is entered via text input. All required fields are marked with a red *.

If the input is valid, the system will underline the respective field in green. If there is an invalid input, the system will underline the field in red.
