KYC (Know Your Customer) is the verification process we use to confirm the identity of our users.
At this moment, Upcomers only offers verification for individuals. Company verification is not available right now, but we plan to support it in the future.
KYC involves collecting information such as a government-issued ID and conducting checks to help prevent illegal activity such as money laundering or fraud.
We require KYC for several reasons:
Compliance: KYC helps us meet regulatory and fraud-prevention requirements and maintain a secure trading environment.
Risk Management: Verifying user identities helps us assess and reduce the risk of fraudulent activity.
Trust and Security: Identity verification helps protect Upcomers and our traders by making sure payouts go to the right person.
Documents you will need
Prepare a valid, unexpired government-issued identity document, such as a passport, national ID card, or driver’s license accepted by the verification flow. You will also complete a live selfie or liveness check.
If your identity document does not show your address, provide an additional proof-of-address document when requested. Follow the requirements shown during verification and make sure your account details match the document.
