What "Know Your Customer" means
Know Your Customer (KYC) is the standard process by which a financial service confirms that a client is a real, identifiable person, and that the information provided at registration is accurate.
At Mining AI, our KYC procedure involves gathering and validating essential information about you: your complete legal name, date of birth, country where you reside, communication details and your chosen funding method. We cross-reference the information submitted during registration against the supporting documents you provide.
What we do not do
We do not ask for your online banking password, your full card PIN, or remote access to your device. No member of our team will ever request those. Any message that does is not from us and should be reported through the abuse form.
What "anti-money laundering" means
Anti-money laundering (AML) is the set of internal controls a financial service uses to prevent its platform from being used to move the proceeds of crime, to finance illegal activity, or to disguise the true origin of funds.
AML controls are broader than a one-off identity check. They cover risk classification of new accounts, sanctions and politically-exposed-person screening, limits on unusual funding patterns, record keeping, internal escalation of suspicious activity and, where the applicable law requires it, reporting to the competent authority.
Anti-money laundering regulations supersede conflicting client directives. This may result in transaction delays, requests for supplementary evidence, or account restrictions until the situation is settled.
Why verification is required
- 01
Legal obligation
Institutions engaged in holding or moving client assets must establish client identity as a prerequisite to service delivery. This requirement is mandatory and applies universally to all accounts.
- 02
Protecting your money
Verification ties an account to one identifiable owner. It makes account takeover far harder, and it means withdrawals can only be sent back to a payment method proven to belong to you.
- 03
Keeping the platform clean
Screening keeps sanctioned parties and anonymous shell activity off the platform, which protects every other client using it.
- 04
Faster payouts later
An account verified up front does not have to stop for checks at withdrawal time, which is when delays are least welcome.
Which documents are accepted
We ask for up to three categories of document. Files should be colour images or PDFs, fully in frame, unedited, with all four corners and all text legible.
1. Identity document
An official identity document displaying your photo, complete name, birth date, identification number and validity period. Typically recognized documents include passports, state-issued identity cards, or licensed photographic driving credentials. The document must remain current and not be past its expiration date.
2. Proof of address
A recent document, usually issued within the last few months, showing your name and your residential address as it appears on your account. Typical examples are a utility statement, a bank or card statement, a local tax or municipal notice, or an official letter from a public authority. Post-office boxes and addresses belonging to someone else are not accepted.
3. Proof of payment method
Evidence that the funding instrument belongs to you. For a card, that is normally an image of the card showing your name, the first six and last four digits and the expiry date, with the remaining digits and the security code covered. For a transfer from a bank account, that is a statement or confirmation in your name showing the account identifier. For an electronic wallet, a screenshot of the account profile showing your name and the account identifier.
Formats and file size
Upload limits, accepted file types and any additional document requests are shown in the verification area of your account. Documents in a language other than the account language may require a translation; the compliance team will tell you if that applies.
The verification steps
- 01
Register
Create the account with your real legal name, date of birth, country of residence, email and phone number. Details that do not match your documents are the most common cause of delay.
- 02
Confirm contact details
Confirm your email address and, where requested, your phone number. This proves the contact channels belong to you.
- 03
Upload your identity document
Provide the pages containing your image and identifying information. Certain verifications include a brief identity confirmation or facial recognition step to validate document authenticity.
- 04
Upload proof of address
Upload a recent qualifying document in your name at the address on file.
- 05
Confirm the payment method
Furnish verification of the payment vehicle you plan to use for account funding and receiving transfers.
- 06
Screening and review
Our compliance team reviews the file, runs the required sanctions and risk screening, and either approves the account or asks for a correction.
- 07
Confirmation
You receive a notification once the account status changes. The current status is always visible in the verification area of your account.
How long a check takes
Most complete submissions are reviewed within a few hours to a couple of business days. Files that need a second look, a translation or an additional document can take longer.
Processing duration fluctuates based on submission volume, document clarity and whether supplementary screening becomes necessary. The applicable review period for your account and current document status appear in your account dashboard - this displayed timeline takes precedence over any external references.
- Clear, complete, unedited uploads are reviewed fastest.
- Requests submitted outside business hours are queued for the next working day.
- Enhanced review, where required, adds time and is communicated to you.
Why a check can be rejected
A rejection is usually a document problem, not a judgement about you. In most cases you can simply re-upload and the account is approved on the second attempt.
| Reason | How to fix it |
|---|---|
| Image blurred, cropped or glare-covered | Re-shoot in daylight, flat on a dark surface, all four corners visible. |
| Document expired | Upload a currently valid document. |
| Registered name or birth date differs from the registered account | Correct the account details, or explain a legal name change with supporting proof. |
| Proof of address too old or not in your name | Provide a recent qualifying document issued to you at your registered address. |
| Payment method belongs to a third party | Ensure the payment method is registered under your name - funds from third parties cannot be accepted. |
| Image has been altered, portions removed to obscure information, or captured digitally from a display | Submit an unmodified original image or PDF. |
| Residence in an excluded jurisdiction | Account creation is not permitted; consult our regulatory page regarding our licensing framework. |
Should clarification on any decision be required, reach out to our support team to understand the basis for the determination. Where legal authorization exists, we shall provide disclosure.
Ongoing transaction monitoring
Verification constitutes an ongoing obligation. Continuous monitoring of accounts and financial activity occurs for the duration of the business relationship.
What is monitored
Funding and withdrawal patterns, changes of payment instrument, changes of country or contact details, activity that does not match the profile you gave at sign-up, and any activity flagged by our screening tools.
What can happen as a result
- A call to supply new documentation or details regarding the origin of funds.
- A suspension of a particular transaction pending examination.
- Modification of the thresholds displayed in your account.
- Restriction or closure of the account where the law requires it.
Records
Identity documentation and transaction history are preserved for the timeframe mandated by relevant laws following relationship termination and are managed according to our Privacy Policy. In certain circumstances the law prevents us from telling a client that a report has been made.
Your obligations
- Give accurate, current and complete information, and keep it up to date.
- Use only your own funds and your own payment instruments - never someone else's.
- Maintain a single account and safeguard your access credentials.
- Fulfill document submission requests by the deadline indicated in the notice.
- Tell us promptly if you change country of residence, legal name or payment method.
- Notify us immediately of any suspected unauthorized attempts to access your account.
Submitting falsified or altered documents is a serious matter. It leads to closure of the account and, where applicable law requires, notification of the competent authority.
Where to ask questions
If anything on this page is unclear, or you want to know the exact status of your own verification, ask us before uploading again.
Who reviews my documents?
A trained compliance reviewer. Files are stored on restricted systems, and access is limited to staff who need it for the check.
Can I start before I am verified?
Registration and account exploration are available, though account funding, trading capabilities and withdrawal processing require verified status as reflected in your account.
Do I have to verify again later?
Potentially. Documentation validity periods expire, residential information changes and routine document updates form standard AML practice. We shall notify you should refreshed documentation be required.
How do I contact the compliance team?
Use the contact route on our contact page and mention "KYC" or "verification" in your message, together with the email address on your account. Please do not send document images by unsecured channels - upload them in the account area instead.
Get verified once, cleanly
The majority of verification slowdowns stem from three primary factors: unclear imagery, expired address documentation, and payment methods under another person's name. Correcting these concerns typically results in approval upon initial review.
Need help with a document?
Our support team can tell you exactly which file was rejected and why.
- Check the verification area of your account first.
- Then contact support with your registered email address.
