Our onboarding process is fast and hassle-free, with most applications being approved in minutes. To verify your account, we require completion of ‘Know Your Customer’, or KYC, which is a standard practice for companies that offer financial services. It is an important layer to prevent money laundering activities and eliminate bad actors on the platform.
CoinStrat holds itself to the highest standards and takes compliance very seriously in order to provide the best services to our customers and protect both your identity and funds.
Below are some helpful tips to successfully pass the login screen:
Government ID upload tips:
Do not use a scanned image or copy of your ID. Take a picture of yourself (preferably using your smartphone) and upload the image.
Avoid lighting that may cause glare (natural light typically works best).
Rest your ID on a plain, dark or contrasting surface.
Don’t hold the ID in your hands as your fingers may confuse the lens’ focus.
Selfie upload tips:
Face the camera directly and ensure it remains eye-level
Pose in front of a plain wall or background
Do not wear sunglasses or a hat
Try to match your appearance as much as possible to your ID photo
