KYC (Know Your Customer)

The identity-verification process regulated financial providers use to confirm who their customers are.

Last updated: June 2026

KYC is a legal requirement for institutions that issue cards on the Visa and Mastercard networks. It helps prevent money laundering and fraud by verifying customer identity.

Many crypto card providers use tiered KYC: minimal information to start spending, with optional further verification to unlock higher limits.
