Basic Customer Information (KYC)

Learn what documents and information are required to complete KYC verification for your customer.

Every receiver on BlindPay must complete a Know Your Customer (KYC) verification before they can send or receive funds. This process helps us confirm identities, stay compliant with regulations, and keep the platform safe for everyone.

Verification Levels

BlindPay offers two KYC levels for individuals:

KYC Standard is the default verification. It's automated and typically completes in about 60 seconds.
KYC Enhanced is required for individuals from high-risk countries. It includes everything from KYC Standard plus additional documentation, and all submissions are manually reviewed by our compliance team.
