How to Complete Identity Verification on Binance New Zealand

What is KYC (Know Your Customer)?

If you’ve ever opened an account with a cryptocurrency exchange, you have likely had to complete a KYC check. KYC requires financial service providers to identify and verify their customers. This could be through official identification, such as government-issued IDs

These checks are done as part of the financial institutions' (in this case, Binance New Zealand) Anti-Money Laundering/Combating the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) compliance efforts. These checks improve trust in the industry and help financial service providers to manage their risks.
